This list does not include the gatewayed Internet newsgroups (see below). The groups distributed worldwide are divided into seven broad classifications: "news", "soc", "talk", "misc", "sci", "comp" and "rec". Each of these classifications is organized into groups and subgroups according to topic. "comp" Topics of interest to both computer professionals and hobbyists, including topics in computer science, software source, and information on hardware and software systems. "sci" Discussions marked by special and usually practical knowledge, relating to research in or application of the established sciences. "misc" Groups addressing themes not easily classified under any of the other headings or which incorporate themes from multiple categories. "soc" Groups primarily addressing social issues and socializing. "talk" Groups largely debate-oriented and tending to feature long discussions without resolution and without appreciable amounts of generally useful information. "news" Groups concerned with the news network and software themselves. "rec" Groups oriented towards the arts, hobbies and recreational activities. These "world" newsgroups are (usually) circulated around the entire USENET -- this implies world-wide distribution. Not all groups actually enjoy such wide distribution, however. Some sites take only a selected subset of the more "technical" groups, and controversial "noise" groups are often not carried by many sites (these groups are often under the "talk" and "soc" classifications). Many sites do not carry some or all of the comp.binaries groups. There are groups in other subcategories, but they are local: to institutions, to geographic regions, etc. and they are not listed here. Note that these distribution categories can be used to restrict the propagation of news articles. Currently, distributions include: world worldwide distribution (default) can limited (mostly) to Canada eunet limited (mostly) to European sites in EUNet na limited (mostly) to North America usa limited (mostly) to the United States There may be other regional and local distribution categories available at your site. Most US states have distribution categories named after the two letter abbreviation for that state or category (e.g., "ga" for Georgia, "nj" for New Jersey). Please use an appropriate distribution category if your article is not likely to be of interest to USENET readers worldwide. Please notify me of any errors or changes to the information in this article.

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.0d Yet another attempt to collect stupid people up front. alt.1d One-dimensional imaging, & the thinking behind it. alt.2600 The magazine or the game system.

(Moderated) EYE --- EYE magazine, based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, is a free newspaper issued once a week. The scope of articles is greater than just Toronto, so the hierarchy is available on a worldwide basis. For more information, contact eye@interlog.com (Ken Campbell). NNTP feeds can be arranged through him if you cannot get the groups from your regular feeds. eye.config Proposals for new eye.* newsgroups, etc. eye.general eye Followups and General Discussions. eye.letters eye readers write. (Moderated) eye.news eye News articles. (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. (Mo derated) 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. (Moderated) gnu.emacs.gnews News reading under GNU Emacs using Weemba's Gnews. gnu.emacs.gnus News reading under GNU Emacs using GNUS (in English). gnu.emacs.help User queries and answers. gnu.emacs.sources ONLY (please!) 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.gcc.announce Announcements about the GNU C Compiler. (Moderated) gnu.gcc.bug GNU C Compiler bug reports/suggested fixes. (Moderated) gnu.gcc.help GNU C Compiler (gcc) user queries and answers. gnu.gdb.bug gcc/g++ DeBugger bugs and suggested fixes. (Moderated) gnu.ghostscript.bug GNU Ghostscript interpreter bugs. (Moderated) gnu.gnusenet.config GNU's Not Usenet administration and configuration. gnu.gnusenet.test GNU's Not Usenet alternative hierarchy testing. gnu.groff.bug Bugs in the GNU roff programs. (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. (Moderate d) 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 . Current inet groups are: comp.ai.edu Applications of Artificial Intelligence to Education. comp.ai.vision Artificial Intelligence Vision Research. (Moderated) comp.dcom.lans.hyperchannel Hyperchannel networks within an IP network. comp.editors Topics related to computerized text editing. -----cut here-----
