[4-9] What Lisp-related discussion groups and mailing lists exist?
Before posting to any discussion group, please read the rest
of this FAQ, to make sure your question isn't already answered.
Scheme-related mailing lists and newsgroups are listed in the Scheme
FAQ, and AI-related mailing lists and newsgroups are listed in the AI FAQ.
First of all, there are several Lisp-related newsgroups:
comp.lang.lisp General Lisp-related discussions.
See below for archive information.
comp.lang.clos Discussion related to CLOS, PCL, and
object-oriented programming in Lisp.
Gatewayed to commonloops@cis.ohio-state.edu.
(or equivalently, comp.lang.clos@cis.ohio-state.edu)
See below for info on the newsgroup's archives.
comp.org.lisp-users Discussions related to Association of Lisp Users.
Gatewayed to the ALU mailing list. This is an
organizational mailing list/newsgroup, not a
technical forum.
comp.std.lisp For discussion of emerging standards for
the Lisp language, including "de facto" standards.
Moderated by Brad Miller <miller@cs.rochester.edu>.
Submissions should be sent to
lisp-standards@cs.rochester.edu
Archived on
ftp.cs.rochester.edu:/pub/archives/lisp-standards/
Gatewayed to a mailing list (send mail to
lisp-standards-request@cs.rochester.edu to join).
comp.lang.lisp.mcl Discussions related to Macintosh
Common Lisp. This newsgroup is gatewayed
to the info-mcl@digitool.com
mailing list and archived on digitool.com.
comp.lang.lisp.franz Discussion of Franz Lisp, a dialect of Lisp.
(Note: *not* Franz Inc's Allegro.)
comp.lang.lisp.x Discussion of XLISP, a dialect of Lisp, and XScheme.
comp.sys.xerox Discussions related to using Medley (name exists
for historical reasons, and is likely to change
soon). Gatewayed to the info-1100 mailing list.
comp.sys.ti.explorer TI Explorers Lisp machines.
comp.windows.garnet Garnet, a Lisp-based GUI.
comp.ai and subgroups General AI-related dicusssion.
The newsgroup comp.lang.lisp is archived on
ftp.gmd.de:/usenet/comp.lang.lisp/ [129.26.8.84]
by month, from 1989 onward. Individual files are in rnews
format. (They contain articles prefixed by a header line "#! rnews
<nchars> archive" where <nchars> is the number of characters in the
article following the header. That format is convenient for various
news processing programs (e.g. relaynews) and is rather easy to
process from a lisp program too.) A copy of the GMD archives for
comp.lang.lisp is available on cambridge.apple.com:/pub/comp.lang.lisp/.
We list several mailing lists below. In general, to be added to
a mailing list, send mail to the "-request" version of the address.
This avoids flooding the mailing list with annoying and trivial
administrative requests. [To subscribe to info-dylan, or
other mailing lists based at cambridge.apple.com, send a message to
majordomo@cambridge.apple.com with "subscribe <list_name>" in the
message body. Likewise use "unsubscribe <list_name>" to cancel your
subscription and "help" to get help.]
General Lisp Mailing Lists:
common-lisp@ai.sri.com Technical discussion of Common Lisp.

organizational mailing list,
not a technical forum.

Electronic Journal of Functional and Logic Programming (EJFLP)
EJFLP is a refereed journal that will be distributed for free via e-mail.
The aim of EJFLP is to create a new medium for research investigating the
integration of the functional, logic and constraint programming paradigms.
