I'd like to welcome Bob Blick and Russell to the admin team as list
moderators :-)

We've set up another topic tag called [TECH] which Russell has agreed
to police (along with [OT]).  Bob will be helping to police the [PIC]
and [EE] tags.  This will allow us to refocus some of the other tags.

** Please note that if you want to receive [TECH] posts and you don't
receive the daily digest version of the Piclist, you will have to
visit <http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist> and opt in. **

The new topic definitions effective immediately are:

[PIC]
Should be at the start of the subject line for most postings to the
PICList. This says that a PIC microcontroller (or clone) is directly
involved, connected or the entire subject of the post. Any person who
works with PICs would want to read it...

[SX]
Items specific to the Scenix SX microcontrollers

[AVR]
Items specific to the Atmel AVR microcontrollers

[ARM]
Items specific to ARM microcontrollers

[EE]
The doing of Electrical/Electronic Engineering that you can do
yourself. Power stations go into TECH unless it's a power station that
you can build. So too eg Magnetohydrodynamics etc. Windmill
alternators and related systems and alternate energy at the doing
level go into EE. Windfarms into TECH. etc

[TECH]
About technology, Engineering other than EE, science hard stuff. NOT
the philosophy of science in any depth. New discoveries in QM,
cosmology etc are fine. Almost anything that gets a long thread that
diverges can probably evolve into OT once people know it exists. Those
who care can follow it. eg Global Warming is TECH at the latest
discoveries level but not discussions of "An inconvenient truth" or
"The great global warming swindle" etc. This may rate an occasional
mention in TECH but long ramblings can go to OT.

[BUY]
People looking for parts, equipment, or consultants will use this topic.

[AD]
This is for advertisements of a commercial product or service. Don't
spam, do post [AD]!

[OT]
This label is for posts that are completely off the topic of
engineering/technology. The only things we don't ever want to see are
religious/metaphysical, sex, hate, or political messages.

Hopefully, these definitions are pretty clear, but if you have any
questions please ask away and the admin team will do our best to
answer :-)
