[net.ai] Net.ai.break-up ????????????????????

HI there:-

	It is time that we consider setting up mini-nets within net.ai;
some of the people interested in AI for business and applications in
operations research /management science have recently made some requests
along these lines. 

	Do you think this makes sense. I feel that setting up mini-nets
will give raise to both increased participation and will give room for 
more technical and detailed discussions on the respective subtopics. 
I am just speculating....


	In order to reach an agreement on the subtopics one may start with
a list which can be posted on the net.ai. I was thinking along these lines:-

     *	Natural language/story understanding, knowledge representation
	Cog. Sc.

     *	Logic programming/planning robotics.Prolog

     *	Ai tools and techniques and KB applications, languages,hardware

     *	AI in Business/Expert systmes and  Commercial AI/New ventures etc.

and finally, the general net.ai for general notices announcements etc.	


	The more I think about it , it does not seem to be a very good
idea. Does it make a lot of sense in breaking up net.ai? Any ideas?

I already reqularly look at several notesfiles.. what you propose
it to make an already difficult task more difficult.

I think subdividing net.ai is a good idea, and the groups proposed
make sense.

How does the following simple partition strike you:

- net.ai.Announce
- net.ai.Debate
- net.ai.Advise
...

or something like that?
