The wai-xtech list is a breakout room. It is used for ad-hoc caucuses on an as needed basis. There is a long term thread on glossary coordination being carried forward here, and other topics as need be. The web interface to the archives is one of those. It does not have a continuing charter or focus except to provide a slightly separate space for discussions which are both too detailed to be Coordination Group business and too cross-cutting to be assigned to one or another of the chartered Working Groups or Interest Groups. Joining and leaving are explained in the message below, which also explains how you can get it. Al ******* About the W3C Mailing Lists ******* There are many mailing lists provided by the W3C for discussion and development on the World Wide Web. A full list of them is available at: <http://www.w3.org/Mail/Lists.html>http://www.w3.org/Mail/Lists.html NOTE that this list is not the place for any of the following: How do I configure [insert-favorite-software-here]? I'm new to the web -- what is it? I tried to ask [insert-company-here] customer support, but [I didn't get any response / they told me to RTFM] What does RTFM mean? Answers to the above are often found in the WWW FAQ maintained by Thomas Boutell. The FAQ is available from several sites. Use the mirror closest to you: Sunsite, eastern United States (North America): <http://sunsite.unc.edu/boutell/faq/>http://sunsite.unc.edu/boutell/faq/ Internex Online, Montreal, eastern Canada (North America): <http://www.io.org/faq/www/index.html>http://www.io.org/faq/www/index.html New Software Technologies Service, Austria (Europe): <http://nswt.tuwien.ac.at:8000/htdocs/boutell/>http://nswt.tuwien.ac.at:8000 /htdocs/boutell/ Glocom, Japan (Asia): <http://www1.glocom.ac.jp/mirror/www.boutell.com/faq/index.htm>http://www1.g locom.ac.jp/mirror/www.boutell.com/faq/index.htm The FAQ also lists the names of all the USENET newsgroups that are available regarding the WWW (most under the comp.infosystems.<http://www.*/>www.* hierarchy). ******* Administrative Requests ******* The -request mail address should be used for all list administrative requests. It accepts the following commands (in the Subject of an e-mail message): subscribe -- Subscribe to the list. If you want to subscribe under a different address, use a Reply-To: address header in the message. unsubscribe -- Unsubscribe from the list. help -- Get information about the mailing list. archive help -- Get information about the list archive(s). In the event of an address change, it would probably be wisest to first send an unsubscribe for the old address (this can be done from the new address), and then a new subscribe from the new address (the order is important). Most (un)subscription requests are processed automatically without human intervention. Do not send multiple (un)subscription or info requests in one mail. Only one will be processed per mail. NOTE: The -request server usually does quite a good job in discriminating between (un)subscribe requests and messages intended for the maintainer. If you'd like to make sure a human reads your message, make it look like a reply (i.e. the first word in the Subject: field should be "Re:", without the quotes of course); the -request server does not react to replies. ******* Archive Server ******* Every submission sent to this list is archived. Archives of public lists are available at URL: <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/>http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ If you want to access this archive by e-mail, you have to send mail to the -request address with the word "archive" as the first word of your Subject:. To get you started, try sending a mail to the -request address with the following: Subject: archive help Rev. 18/Jul/97 -JK =================================================================
