I haven't seen any mention of a faq for this mailing list, if there truly
isn't one, we definately need to get one together... I have seen several
people who have mentioned compiling circle-related faqs. We need an
official set of rules for this mailing list, and it would be very nice to
have a circle-mud faq maintained by this mailing list, similar to what
many usenet groups do. The rule faq should be posted to the mailing list
on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, as well as to all new subscribers to the
list (the bandwidth it takes would be miniscule wrt the number of posts
this list receives. The circle-mud faq should be available on a web site
and ftp site (?.circlemud.org).
here are some basic things that I think the rules for this list should
contain (again, assuming there aren't any, since I haven't personally seen
them):
- This list exists for the discussion of the coding and implementation of
a circle-mud based mud.
- This list is maintained on a volunteer basis, and is unmoderated.
- Posts to this mailing list should pertain to circlemud in general.
- Topics which are generally acceptable to the list include: discussion of
new features to be added to a muds, information and questions related to
coding a Circle mud, questions pertaining to the administration of a
Circle mud, information and help to those who are having problems with
their Circle based mud.
- Topics which are OFF-TOPIC to the mailing list, and are not welcome:
Advertisements for new muds- this is not the 'muds-announce' mailing list.
Commercial advertisements of any type.
Coding questions which have nothing to do with Circlemud, and can be
answered in any beginning C textbook.
- References:
The circlemud mailing list can be subscribed to by sending a message to
(I forgot the address), with 'subscribe circle' in the body of the message.
Beginning C questions can be answered in any number of books, including
'The C Programming Language' by Kernigham and Ritchie.
The circlemud mailing list faq can be found at: ftp:// , and
http://
If you have any additions to this information, or if this mailing list
already has a ruleset and I just haven't seen it, please mail me at the
address below.
