    expressed a desire for a mailing list for discussions of issues
    related to managing Internet mailing lists, including (but not
    limited to) software, methods, mechanisms, techniques, and
    policies.

    I've created the list as "[e-mail]".
    That address is a direct mail relector: all messages sent to
    that address are immediately forwarded to the list.  There is a
    digestified version of the list available as "List-Managers-
    [e-mail]".  The digestified version has exactly
    the same messages as the direct version; the messages are
    simply bundled into digests daily (or more frequently, if
    traffic warrants).  Both lists are unmoderated.

    To join the List-Mangers mailing list, send the command

    subscribe list-managers

    in the body of a message to "[e-mail]".  If
    you want to subscribe something other than the account the
    mail is coming from, such a a local redistribution list, then
    append that address to the "subscribe" command; for example,
    to subscribe "local-list-managers":

    subscribe list-managers [e-mail]

    To subscribe to the digestified version, substitute "list-
    managers-digest" for "list-managers" in the examples above.

Meteorology Students
    Contact: [e-mail]

    everyone but particularly intended as a communication facility
    for meteorology students.  At the moment there are 20 people from
    three continents subscribed to the list.

    Beside the usual chatting, subjects of discussion could be student
    related topics such as scholarships, summer schools, conferences,
    and conditions of studying meteorology at a particular university.
    There is also the option to ask the community for help in meteorology
    related questions.  There are  freshman, as well as grad students,
    that will be available to answer your questions in this field.

    If there are enough people interested we could organize a kind
    of project, too.

    To come to know each other there is a short questionaire available.
    Though no obligation exists to fill it out, it would be nice if all
    new subscribers would at least answer the basic questions about their
    name, address and university. New answered forms are posted to the
    list; old ones are available on request.

    Administrative mail such as subscription or questionaire requests
    should be sent to:

          [e-mail]

    Though the list is situated in Germany the language is English,
    of course.  I hope for strong participation.

Oglasna Deska
    Contact: [e-mail] (Dean Mozetic & Marjeta Cedilnik)

    running under SLON and the articles and replies are occasionally
    saved and sent to the world. The topics cover wide area, the
    language used is Slovene, Croatian or Serbian, and some articles
    are in English. At the moment, interaction is limited to some
    "newsgroups" (others can only be read), but in the near future it
    should be possible to send articles using the mail "reply"
    command. The topics covered are equivalent to Usenet groups talk.

    and misc.invest.
