(Hopefully you have a mail system with duplicate suppression.) I've created two new FreeBSD-related mailing-lists which people may wish to subscribe to. FreeBSD's postmaster did not think there would be sufficient interest in these lists to justify their creation on FreeBSD.org, so they will instead live on my machine. (This means that there will be no public archives of the discussion, unless someone else volunteers to create one.) The two lists are and ; subscribe in the usual manner. Here are the info files for both lists: ------------------------------------ The freebsd-print mailing-list is intended for the discussion of print systems and software in the FreeBSD environment. Germane topics would include: - The standard FreeBSD print spooler system, lpr(1)/lpd(8). - Other print spooler systems, such as `rlpr' and `LPRng'. - Related document-management and translation software such as `a2ps', `psutils', and `ghostscript'. - Document-formatting systems such as groff(1) and TeX. - Standards relevant to printing, such as IPP. - Support for foreign printing protocols in FreeBSD using tools like `CAP' and `samba'. This list is maintained and retroactively moderated by Garrett Wollman, wollman@{{FreeBSD,bostonradio,decalcomania}.org,lcs.mit.edu} ------------------------------------ The purpose of the freebsd-standards list is to discuss the impact of various formal and informal standards on the FreeBSD operating system. Discussion will include the new POSIX 1003.1-200x / Single UNIX Specification v3 standards (currently in process), as well as other existing and future standards. This mailing-list specifically excludes discussion of standards for network protocol and APIs; these should take place exclusively on the list instead. This list is maintained and retroactively moderated by Garrett Wollman, wollman@{{FreeBSD,bostonradio,decalcomania}.org,lcs.mit.edu} ------------------------------------ -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
