1991-10-31/NDN/HKS NORDUnet newsgroups This is the official list of newsgroups in the nordunet distribution. It is regularly posted to the group nordunet.dcom.gc and also available with anonymous ftp from nic.nordu.net with name news/nordunet.groups. The creation and deletion of groups in the nordunet distribution is done by the national newsgroup coordinators in each NORDUnet country. You can reach them by sending mail to groups@nic.nordu.net if you don't know who they are. A proposal for a new group should contain a suggestion for it's name in the hierarchy, a half line header for the newsgroups file and preferably a small description how and for what the group should be used for. If not obvious the proposal should also state why it needs nordunet wide distribution instead of some other distribution. The newsgroups coordinators will promptly process your proposal, possibly suggesting modifications, and then just create the new group without the need for arranging complex formal votes unless you really want to arrange one. Motto: Low volume newsgroups don't cost much but may help filtering the signal you want from the noise. Although English is a lingua Franca that most of us understand of course you can write in whatever language you feel that you can reach your intended readers. Naturligtvis alla Nordiska spr}kena {r v{lkomna suomi mukaanlukien! nordunet.announce Official NORDUnet announcements (Moderated) This moderated group is reserved only for official announcements by the NORDUnet Executive or Board. Keep it in your newsrc if you want to be notified of important events in NORDUnet. (The messages will be distributed also via NDNNET-I mailing list in FINHUTC? Or should we just forget the whole list? Maybe a test to see how out of date it is?) nordunet.comp Nordic computer related issues This group is for miscellaneous discussion on computer related issues that have specific interest in the Nordic community. If the need arises more subgroups for specific issues can be added. nordunet.comp.nucc Nordic University Computer Clubs This group is meant for discussing the NUCC activities and might be linked to nucc mailing list nordunet.comp.sources Nordic source code distribution This group is for distributing mainly Made In Nordic Countries source files that aren't of worldwide interest. (Do we really need it at all?) nordunet.comp.sources.list Information on where to find sources This group is used to inform Nordic users on where to find sources in the Nordic Countries. Annoucements of new archives and access methods to them could be made here. A good place to look at is nic.funet.fi which has one of the largest anonymous ftp archives in the world. If you don't know where to look for a particular file try logging as user archie to archie.funet.fi and follow instructions or just use global Prospero Virtual Filesystem if you have it installed at your host. nordunet.dcom General Nordic datacommunication issues nordunet.dcom.gc Group Communication Group Communication covers all forms for communication between groups of people. This is group is mainly intended for discussion on how to support it using data communication. Group communication services in use at NORDUnet sites include various types of mailing lists, netnews systems and conferencing systems. This document will also be posted regularly to this group (or should we have nordunet.dcom.(gc.)lists?) nordunet.dcom.netf Nordic Engineering and Technical Forum The goal for the NETF is to provide a focal point for Nordic Networking activities. The NETF is open to anyone who wants to participate. The NETF scope spans all existing and future technologies used in computer networking. The NETF:s role is to bring forward technical recommendations for networking in the Nordic countries. More information on NETF can be found by anonymous ftp from nic.nordu.net under the directory netf. Each working group has it's own subdirecotory where it's charter and other documents are kept. Please look at nic.nordu.net if you want to know more about what NETF or it's working groups are doing and join the work. Each of the netf newsgroups is bidirectionally linked to a corresponding mailing list. Some groups may have additional non linked mailing lists as well for their special needs. nordunet.dcom.netf.clns NETF Connectionless NS WG nordunet.dcom.netf.cons NETF Connectionoriented NS WG nordunet.dcom.netf.ds NETF Directory Service WG nordunet.dcom.netf.hsp NETF High Speed WG nordunet.dcom.netf.mhs NETF Mail Harmonization WG nordunet.dcom.netf.namadr NETF Network Naming and Addressing WG nordunet.dcom.netf.netman NETF Network Management WG nordunet.dcom.netf.perf NETF Performance WG nordunet.dcom.netf.usup NETF User Support WG nordunet.dcom.netf.vas NETF Value Added Services WG nordunet.dcom.stats Statistics from NORDUnet This group is mainly intended for distributing all kinds of statistics from the NORDUnet network and related services.
