Listas de distribución / Distribution lists

These are the lists of which I am currently a member. There are other lists I subscribed to in the past, but I signed off.

Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence

Created by Bruce D'Ambrosio in September 1994. Closely related to the Association for Uncertainty in AI. The few messages it sends are usually quite interesting.

Artificial Intelligence and Statistics

Created (in January 1994) and moderated by Doug Fisher, who sends a digest every three or four weeks. Very interesting.

Medinfo

Medical informatics. It used to send lots of messages; now, the traffic has decreased (fortunately!). Many of the messages have nothing to do with the subject of the list; I rarely find useful information (I am more interested in intelligent systems for medicine than in medical informatics), but every time I am just about to sign off, something interesting arrives and I decide to hold on.

Tex and LaTeX in Spanish

Although it officially deals with the generation of [La]Tex documents in Spanish, many people use this list to ask for help about problems that are not specific of this language, and the "TeXperts" almost always offer the solution. See also the page of the CervanTeX group.

Spanglish

Forum about computer science terminology in Spanish (see also my page on Spanglish). Unmoderated. It was created in October 1994 by Ángel Álvarez (computer scientist) and Avelino García (linguist); since november 1998 it is managed by Carmen Ugarte. Subscribers use to ask for advice on the translation of English terms. Very interesting, although unfortunately some members enjoy getting involved in endless discussions.
