HELP POPFORUM Steve Knight, Jan 1989 updated by Ian Rogers, July 1992 Updated by Aaron Sloman, 11 Jul 1999 MUCH OF THE FILE BELOW IS NOW OUT OF DATE. IT IS RETAINED FOR HISTORICAL INTEREST. FOR UP TO DATE INFORMATION SEE http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/poplog.info.html http://www.poplog.org Pop Forum -- Introduction -- Members List -- Joining Popforum -- Etiquette -- Books and Resources List -- Services and Contacts -- Introduction ------------------------------------------------------- Popforum is a mailing list for people who are interested in Poplog and other Pop languages. This list is one of the services provided by the Poplog and Pop Languages User Group. So far the main uses of the forum have been: * discussing the future directions of Poplog; * announcements of enhancements, conferences, or ideas; * requests for help on various topics. -- Members List ------------------------------------------------------- A list of popforum members is maintained by the administrator. This list is sent to new members, and is occasionally sent to all members popforum, so that people with like interests can get in touch. You can mail to all members of the list by mailing to: popforum%hplb@uk.ac.uknet (THIS NO LONGER WORKS) All mail to popforum is archived, because there are occasionally debates or questions that are relevant later. You can request 'back-issues' of mail discussions - see below. -- Joining Popforum -------------------------------------------------- If you want to join popforum, or to request back-issues, simply post to: popforum-admin%hplb@uk.ac.uknet (THIS NO LONGER WORKS) -- Etiquette ---------------------------------------------------------- Since responsible people are reluctant to post trivial or dull questions to everyone, some members (our Agony Aunts & Uncles) have volunteered to field these kinds of requests. These people are listed at the end of this file. To find out who is currently available to help post a request to comp.lang.pop or the mailing list. DO NOT POST IRRELEVANT ADVERTISEMENTS OR ANNOUNCEMENTS -- Books and Resources List ------------------------------------------- The Poplog and Pop Languages User Group maintains a list of books, papers, companies, and other resources related to Poplog. Some of this information may be available in help files on your system (see HELP *RESOURCES for details), and also http://www.poplog.org -- Services and Contacts ---------------------------------------------- (1) Popforum Administrator E-mail: pop-forum-request@cs.bham.ac.uk Please send all e-mail requests to this address. This covers such things as: * subscribing, * back-issues, * members list, * books and resources list. (2) Popforum E-mail: pop-forum@cs.bham.ac.uk Send to this address to have your message broadcast to all subscribers. Please do not post irrelevant advertisements. People who abuse this email list will be reported to their service providers or local system managers, and may have their accounts terminated. (3) Agony Uncles Suggestions and advice can be sought from pop-forum which generally provides solutions quickly. However, you may feel that that you do not wish to publicise your problems, perhaps because they are too "trivial" or perhaps because they are sensitive. In this case, you can write to one or more of the agony uncles below. They will try to answer your questions personally. If they do not know an answer, or your problem is intrinsically interesting, then they may put the question to the forum, but without using your name. So you should get an answer mailed to you in person, or by reading the ensuing discussion. If you are prepared to volunteer as an agony uncle, let me know. + When writing to one of the volunteers, please clearly indicate + that you are writing in that context. (Otherwise the volunteer + may think it is misdirected mail!) Please note: THIS LIST IS OUT OF DATE Use comp.lang.pop or pop-forum Previous agny uncles were: Roger Evans Topic: Pop11, Prolog, VED Adrian Howard Topic: X, "external" facilities, pop-11, ved Steve Knight (now Steve Leach) Topic: Anything!
