  This is to inform you of the lists available at SCN. The 'social' list 
has been incorporated into the 'outreach' list.  The SCN lists that were 
located at the UW have been transferred to SCN. Please change your 
addressing accordingly.

majordomo at scn.org  serves the following lists:

  citizens-advisory    For citizens-advisory
  coordinating         For communication to the Coordinating Committee         
  cpsr-seattle         For the communications of CPSR-Seattle                  
  fundraising          For communication to the Fundraising Committee          
  hardware             For communication between the members of Hardware       
  justice              A world wide list pertaining to Prisons & Justice       
  local-computer-activists For communication between the local-computer-activists  
  mentors              For communication of the Mentors in the Services Grp.   
  outreach             For communication to the Outreach Committee.            
  policy               For communication to the Policy Committee.              
  roadshow             For communication to the Roadshow Group.                
  scn                  SCN users wanting on the SCN mail-list                  
  services             For communication to the Services Coordinators.         
  services1            For communication to the Services Committee.            
  services2            For the use of the Volunteer Coordinator.               
  webmasters           For communication between the members of Webmasters     


  Majordomo has the concept of an "owner" for each list.  The 
owner of a given list approves certain user "subscribe" and "unsubscribe"
commands (the ones that majordomo doesn't automatically approve; for
instance, if someone tries to unsubscribe something other than their
own email address from a list, majordomo asks for approval).  Most
list maintenance is done for the owner by majordomo, and the rest can
be done by the owner using emailed commands to majordomo.

  Majordomo also has a concept of "open" and "closed" lists.  The major
difference between "open" and "closed" lists is what happens when a
user submits a "subscribe" request for the list.  For a closed list,
the request is forwarded to the list owner for approval.  For a open
list, the request succeeds automatically if the address the user is
asking to subscribe is their own (according to their mail headers).  In
either case, the owner is notified of all successful "subscribe" and
"unsubscribe" actions.

    subscribe <list> [<address>]
        Subscribe yourself (or <address> if specified) to the named <list>.

    unsubscribe <list> [<address>]
        Unsubscribe yourself (or <address> if specified) from the named <list>.

    which [<address>]
        Find out which lists you (or <address> if specified) are on.

    who <list>
        Find out who is on the named <list>.

    info <list>
        Retrieve the general introductory information for the named <list>.

  Bob,
   Your email did *not* indicate which of the mailing-lists are
  *closed* and which are *open*.

   Also, in a prior email discussion over the 'services' mailing list,
  there was a discussion about opening up some of the closed
  discussions. I believe one of the ideas was to have the content of
  the mailing lists posted on a public forum on SCN.
  Based on those prior emails, I thought there was going to be some
  kind of interface set up to automatically post emails to that
  public forum.

   Are we going to do that?
