  • What it is

    The Tunes mailing list, hosted at the ENS, is currently the center of the Tunes project's activity.

    Whenever you send a message to the e-mail address tunes@ens.fr, it will be received by all the subscribees, including all the project members, plus it will also automatically be made available on the message archive, and on the WWW gateway to it (see below).

    The LLL subproject now also has its own separate mailing-list,
    at the current address tunes-lll@ens.fr.


    How to join

    To subscribe to the list, just send mail to listserv@ens.fr, with any random subject, but the lines:
    	HELP
    	SUB Tunes Your full Name
    
    You can join the LLL mailing list similarly, by putting the following line in a message to listserv@ens.fr:
    	SUB tunes-lll Your full name
    


    How to split

    If you want to unsubscribe from the mailing list,
    please do not post about it on the list itself.

    Instead, you might send a message to listserv as above, having put the following sign-off instruction in a line of it:

    	SIG Tunes
    
    and similarly to unsubscribe from the tunes-lll mailing list:
    	SIG Tunes-LLL
    
    If you do have problems unsubscribing this way, then, and only then, you should send me some mail about it, but please again do not post on the list about that.


    How to access its archive

    Much of the project happened and happens on the mailing-list, and has not been summarized anywhere else, hence, a full understanding of the project includes knowing what was written on it. Hence, we publish the archives of the Tunes and /B>Tunes-LLL mailing lists.

    Before Tunes, there already was the MOOSE project, led by Dennis Marer (formerly dmarer@td2cad.intel.com). Many interesting ideas were emitted, but the project died by lack of organization. Because some the ideas in Tunes come after those in MOOSE, the archive of the MOOSE mailing-list are made available too.

    There's no reliable e-mail->WWW software,
    because both e-mail and the WWW are much too low-level software standards. That's why we're offering the archive in several formats:

    Send bug reports and any feedback by e-mail to me (rideau@ens.fr).


    Digests

    There exist few, old, digests for the Tunes mailing list, that still cover a tiny fraction of the mailing list.
    Feel free to help digesting, or even to suggest ideas about how what a digest should look like !


    To Do on this page

  • Find and install a better e-mail->WWW gateway than Hypermail, if exists.
  • When the project will be bootstrapped, it is time to transform the mailing-list into a database, which will be a preliminary to design a better protocol than e-mail...
  • Digest the whole of the mailing-list, and put the digested synthesis into articles inside appropriate Tunes subprojects.
  • Allow people to send mail to the list from the page?
