These hierarchies of groups are available to sites wishing to support them and able to find a feed. In general, these groups are not carried by the entire network because of their volume, restricted spheres of interest, or a different set of administrative rules and concerns. In general, it is a bad idea to forward these newsgroups to your neighbors without asking them first; they should only be received at a site by choice. Not only is this generally-accepted net etiquette, it helps to preserve the freedom to do and say as the posters please in these newsgroups, as the only people who get them are those who asked to get them. This freedom is more restricted in the Usenet as a whole, because every mainstream posting and every mainstream newsgroup name must be acceptable to a much wider audience than is present in these hierarchies. Because of the sheer size of the mainstream Usenet, extra-long or controversial postings are more likely to cause problems when posted to the Usenet; however, these alternative hierarchies exist precisely to support those kinds of postings (if germane to the hierarchy). Usually, there is is no restriction on getting these groups as long as you have the capacity to receive, store, and forward the groups; software after B 2.11 news is required to make the distribution mechanism work properly for these groups. How to join each distribution is described below. Note that the "uunet" service carries all of these hierarchies. Contact uunet-request@uunet.uu.net for subscription details. Also note -- the lists in this article are totally unofficial and possibly incomplete or inaccurate. I try to keep the lists up-to-date, but make no guarantee that any of the information contained corresponds with the named groups in any significant way. Corrections and comments should be mailed to the reply address in the header of this article. Alt --- "alt" is a collection of newsgroups that is being distributed by a collection of sites that choose to carry the groups. Many Usenet sites do not receive these groups. Here is a recent list of many active "alt" newsgroups: alt.1d One-dimensional imaging, & the thinking behind it. alt.2600 The magazine or the game system.

(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! Current groups include: gnu.announce Status and announcements from the Project. (Moderated) gnu.bash.bug Bourne Again SHell bug reports and suggested fixes. (Moderated) gnu.chess Announcements about the GNU Chess program. gnu.emacs.announce Announcements about GNU Emacs. (Moderated) gnu.emacs.bug GNU Emacs bug reports and suggested fixes.

C and Lisp source code for GNU Emacs. gnu.emacs.vm.bug Bug reports on the Emacs VM mail package. gnu.emacs.vm.info Information about the Emacs VM mail package. gnu.emacs.vms VMS port of GNU Emacs. gnu.epoch.misc The Epoch X11 extensions to Emacs. gnu.g++.announce Announcements about the GNU C++ Compiler. (Moderated) gnu.g++.bug g++ bug reports and suggested fixes. (Moderated) gnu.g++.help GNU C++ compiler (G++) user queries and answers. gnu.g++.lib.bug g++ library bug reports/suggested fixes.

(Moderated) gnu.misc.discuss Serious discussion about GNU and freed software. gnu.smalltalk.bug Bugs in GNU Smalltalk. (Moderated) gnu.utils.bug GNU utilities bugs (e.g., make, gawk. ls). (Moderated) 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 gnu.*announce groups are all fully moderated. 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 HEPnet ------ HEPnet is a collections of networks interconnecting high-energy and nuclear physics research sites. 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. Questions, requests for feeds, and group deletions/additions should be sent to netnews@hep.net (Internet), netnews@hepnet (BITNET), or hepnet::netnews (HEP-ES DECnet). hepnet.admin Discussions among hepnet.* netnews administrators hepnet.announce Announcement of general interest hepnet.conferences Discussions of conference and workshops hepnet.freehep Discussions about the freehep archives hepnet.general Discussions of general interest hepnet.hepix Discussions on the use of Unix hepnet.heplib Discussions about HEPLIB hepnet.jobs Job announcements and discussions hepnet.lang.c++ Discussions of the use of C++ hepnet.test Test postings hepnet.videoconf Discussions on the use of videoconferencing IEEE ---- The IEEE newsgroups concern the IEEE -- the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. ieee.announce General Announcements for IEEE community. ieee.config Postings about managing the ieee.* groups. ieee.general IEEE - General discussion. ieee.pcnfs Discussion & tips on PC-NFS. ieee.rab.announce Regional Activities Board - Announcements. ieee.rab.general Regional Activities Board - General discussion. ieee.region1 Region 1 Announcements. ieee.tab.announce Technical Activities Board - Announcements. ieee.tab.general Technical Activities Board - General discussion. ieee.tcos The Technical Committee on Operating Systems. (Moderated) ieee.usab.announce USAB - Announcements. ieee.usab.general USAB - General discussion. The IEEE is willing to distribute these newsgroups via NNTP to any site that desires to carry them. If you would like a feed of these newsgroups, have the news admin for your site contact 'usenet@ieee.org' for a feed. Inet/DDN -------- Another alternative hierarchy is the "inet/ddn" distribution. 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). Further details may be obtained by writing to Erik Fair .

Info --- The "info" hierarchy is a collection of mailing lists gatewayed into news at the University of Illinois. The lists are selected based on local interests but have proven popular at a number of sites. Groups are removed when they become available via more mainstream hierarchies. Sites are encouraged to mark *'ed groups as 'n' in their active file. These groups are generally concerned with getting real work done and readers dislike extraneous postings. Postings can still be made by emailing to the listed contact address. info.admin Administrative messages regarding info.* groups (usenet@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu).

(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. k12.chat.elementary Casual conversation for elementary students, grades K-5. k12.chat.junior Casual conversation for students in grades 6-8. k12.chat.senior Casual conversation for high school students. 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.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. For more information, contact one of the members of the K12Net Council of Coordinators: Jack Crawford Janet Murray Rob Reilly Mort Sternheim Louis Van Geel RELCOM ------ Relcom.* is the hierarchy of Russian-language newsgroups distributed mostly on the territory of the former Soviet Union (non-CIS countries included). These groups are available in Europe and Northern America; due to the 8-bit encoding (KOI-8) of Cyrillic letters, minor software modifications may be required. Newsgroups under the hierarchy relcom.commerce contain classified advertisements and are relatively high-volume; the nature of the information distributed in those groups may contradict policy of some networks. However, they may be valuable for researchers and businessmen interested in the first-hand information on the economics of FSU countries. Eugene Peskin is the Relcom staff member responsible for netnews -- contact him for more information. relcom.ads Non-commercial ads.

VMSnet ------ This hierarchy is for topics of interest to VAX/VMS users (but not necessarily VMS-specific). These groups are a project of the VMSnet working group of the VAX SIG of the US Chapter of DECUS (the Digital Equipment Computer User's Society). They are carried by most major usenet news sites, and almost half of all netnews sites. To find a feed, contact the system managers of news sites near you, and/or post to a local or regional newsgroup and ask if anyone in the area is carrying the VMSnet newsgroups. If you have tried these alternatives and still can not find a site in your local area that carries the VMSnet groups, you can send mail to the VMSnet Network Coordinator, currently Terry Poot , who will attempt to assist you in finding a feed for the groups. Alternatively, you can send mail to the VMSnet mailing list , which is also gatewayed to the vmsnet.uucp newsgroup and ask for help. In either case, be sure to state where you are geographically, and what your constraints are. For instance, if you can only place local phone calls, be sure to say just what areas are a local call for you. Also describe your network connectivity (what networks you are on, your uucp neighbors, etc.). Here is a recent list of VMSnet newsgroups. NOTE: this is NOT the definitive list of VMSnet newsgroups. The current definitive list is always the most recent checkgroups posting in vmsnet.admin. It is posted monthly or whenever the set of newsgroups is changed. vmsnet.alpha Discussion about Alpha AXP architecture, systems, porting, etc. vmsnet.announce General announcements of interest to all.
