If you know a hierarchy which is not listed in these pages or if you have more up-to-date information about an existing hierarchy, please send a mail to usenet-config@isc.org or post to news.admin.hierarchies so that these pages can be updated.
A text-only version of that page can also be retrieved for a control.ctl access file, PGP keys and a checkgroups. Full files are also available.
Comments:
# # This hierarchy was removed in the Great Renaming of 1988. # # A site in Norway is currently (as of 2002) gatewaying various mailing # lists into fa.* newsgroups, but that site does not appear to be issuing # any control messages for those groups. # # This hierarchy is still in use, but it has no active maintainer. # Control messages for this hierarchy should not be honored without # confirming that the sender is the new hierarchy maintainer.
Historic notes:
# This hierarchy is defunct since the late 1980s. It stood for "from # ARPAnet" to reflect that it was for messages gatewayed from ARPAnet # mailing lists into newsgroups. It should be removed.
Actions since May 2003: none
Newsgroups: none [check raw logs if your checkgroups differs from the one below]
You can display information about up to 30 hierarchies in the row by loading a web page of the form:
http://usenet.trigofacile.com/hierarchies/comp,humanities,misc,news,rec,sci,soc,talk.html (example for the Big 8).
Information in these pages comes from INN's control.ctl, ftp.isc.org newsgroups file, the list of PGP public keys for newsgroup administration and the logs of control messages.
Those external data are used to generate this web site. To report an issue about the generation, please use the issue tracker on GitHub or post to news.admin.hierarchies.
