I have tried to find a newsgroup or mailing list that deals with the areas of computational biology as well as visualization. If there is such a newsgroup (I would presume it would fall under the bionet hierarchy) or a mailing list, I would appreciate knowing about it. If there is none, then I would like to form a national mailing list which would be concerned with the following (and related) issues: - Computational Biology - Biomathematics - Visualization (as it pertains to biological processes) - Computer imaging (as it pertains to biological processes) If you think this would be a good mailing list to have around, then send me some mail at the address, curtiss@umiacs.umd.edu to this effect telling me if you wish to be added. If there are enough responses, I will create a mailing list and make the announcement in the appropriate places. Suggestions for the name of the mailing list would also be helpful (biocomp.umiacs.umd.edu?). Lastly, should the mailing list be successful with moderate activity, I would like to change it into a moderated newsgroup (possibly keeping the mailing list around as well) under the bionet hierarchy. However, I do not know the procedure for newsgroup creation under the bionet hierarchy. Could someone please send me or point me to a document describing what I would need to do? Thanks for all the support in this effort. -- Domain: curtiss@umiacs.umd.edu Phillip Curtiss UUCP: uunet!mimsy!curtiss UMIACS - Univ. of Maryland Phone: +1-301-405-6744 College Park, Md 20742
