(Moderated) gnu --- gnUSENET (gnUSENET is Not USENET) is a set of newsgroups that are gated bi-directionally with the Internet mailing lists of the GNU Project of the Free Software Foundation. GNU (GNU's Not Unix) will be a complete operating system, including application programs, with freely redistributable source code. Please use ONLY gnu.misc.discuss for discussion of topics considered contrary to GNU aims and political philosophy (e.g., porting of GNU code to Apple machines, usefulness of intellectual property laws, etc.). The GNU mailing lists and newsgroups, like the GNU project itself, exist to promote the freedom to share software. So please don't use these newsgroups (or the other GNU lists) to promote or recommend non-free software. (Using them to post ordering information is the ultimate faux pas.) If there is no free program to do a certain task, then somebody should write one! If one of your USENET feeds cannot provide you with a feed of the gnUSENET newsgroups, send mail to gnu.gnusenet.config@prep.ai.mit.edu to ask for a feed. Questions about GNU can be directed to gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu or: Free Software Foundation 675 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02139 USA +1-617-876-3296 Special notes about some of the groups: Use gnu.emacs.help to discuss software on gnu.emacs.sources and to ask for sources. gnu.emacs.sources is archived by many sites and they want sources ONLY! The gnu.*.bug groups are pseudo-moderated (that is, the group is marked moderated so that postings are mailed to prep.ai.mit.edu and then redistributed to the both the mailing list and newsgroup from there).

The HEPnet netnews hierarchy was created to facilitate discussions in the HEP and NP communitites. The hierarchy is is maintained by National HEPnet Management. All groups are bi-directionally gatewayed to mailing lists and automatically archived.

This consists of many newsgroups bearing names similar to traditional Usenet groups and corresponding to Internet discussion lists. These groups are circulated using the NNTP transport mechanism amongst sites on the Internet in an attempt to reduce the number of copies of these groups flowing through the mail (some sites get these groups via UUCP and other transport mechanisms, but the volume can be substantial and load may be significant without a high-speed link). The ddn groups, ddn.mgt-bulletin and ddn.newsletter, are no longer valid. According to nic@nic.ddn.mil (Page Carter), the US Department of Defense removed all non-*.mil addresses from the associated mailing lists for these groups. A *.mil gateway will not be established because that again exposes the traffic to non-*.mil sites via news propagation.

(Moderated) k12 --- K12Net is a collection of conferences devoted to K-12 educational curriculum, language exchanges with native speakers, and classroom-to-classroom projects designed by teachers. The conferences are privately distributed among FidoNet-compatible electronic bulletin board systems in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America, as well as available from uunet.uu.net as Usenet newsgroups in the hierarchy k12.* Classroom-to-classroom projects are featured in the K12 "Channels" which are periodically reassigned based on usage and appropriate project length. They comprise the k12.sys hierarchy. Forums for casual conversation among students are divided by grade level in the k12.chat hierarchy; there is also an area for teachers to exchange general ideas about using telecommunications in education. For more information, contact one of the members of the K12Net Council of Coordinators: Terry Bowden Robert Brault Wolfgang Hofmeier George Perkins Geoff Shearsby Les Turner Louis Van Geel Mr. Brault is currently the chairman of the council, so he is probably the best one to contact first. k12.chat.teacher Casual conversation for teachers of grades K-12. k12.ed.art Arts & crafts curricula in K-12 education. k12.ed.business Business education curricula in grades K-12. k12.ed.comp.literacy Teaching computer literacy in grades K-12. k12.ed.health-pe Health and Physical Education curricula in grades K-12. k12.ed.life-skills Home Economics, career education, and school counseling. k12.ed.math Mathematics curriculum in K-12 education. k12.ed.music Music and Performing Arts curriculum in K-12 education. k12.ed.science Science curriculum in K-12 education. k12.ed.soc-studies Social Studies and History curriculum in K-12 education. k12.ed.special Educating students with handicaps and/or special needs. k12.ed.tag K-12 education for gifted and talented students. k12.ed.tech Industrial arts & vocational education in grades K-12. k12.lang.art The art of teaching language skills in grades K-12. k12.lang.deutsch-eng Bilingual German/English practice with native speakers. k12.lang.esp-eng Bilingual Spanish/English practice with native speakers. k12.lang.francais French practice with native speakers. k12.lang.japanese Bilingual Japanese/English ith native speakers. k12.lang.russian Bilingual Russian/English practice with native speakers. k12.library Implementing info technologies in school libraries. k12.sys.channel0 Current projects. k12.sys.channel1 Current projects. k12.sys.channel10 Current projects. k12.sys.channel11 Current projects. k12.sys.channel12 Current projects. k12.sys.channel2 Current projects. k12.sys.channel3 Current projects. k12.sys.channel4 Current projects. k12.sys.channel5 Current projects. k12.sys.channel6 Current projects. k12.sys.channel7 Current projects. k12.sys.channel8 Current projects. k12.sys.channel9 Current projects. k12.sys.projects Discussion of potential projects.
