I will be starting a moderated mailing list for CircleMUD soon. In order for this to be of the highest quality to its subscribers, it needs a well defined charter. If you are interested in subscribing to this new list, please join in this discussion so we can create a list which best serves the CircleMUD admins. Please note: This moderated list is in addition to the current CircleMUD list (circle@cspo.queensu.ca). The current list will not be replaced or altered because of the new list. To get things started, the following is a suggestion for a rough draft. CHARTER This mailing list provides a discussion medium for people involved with running CircleMUDs. This includes discussions about CircleMUD code, game play, and administration. Maintainers of patches, utilities, areas, and documents are encouraged to announce new releases here. Finding answers to questions answered in the various FAQs and documentation available about CircleMUD are the responsibility of the subscriber; this documentation should be carefully read before mailing this list. Subscribers are assumed to have basic C programming skills for participation in the coding discussions, such as understanding of the language syntax, C keywords, and very common libc functions. Topics not pertaining directly CircleMUD should be discussed elsewhere. For example, questions on how to set up networking on a Linux system should be asked in the comp.os.linux newsgroups (even if its to host a MUD), while discussion about using Linux's elf library format to add dynamically reloadable portions of the MUD is welcomed. Advertisements of MUDs and MUD sites are prohibitied. Code segments over two hundred lines and binary files should not be posted to the list. This list is moderated to enforce adherence with this charter.
