Help us build the future Citizendium community! Add to this list of lists!

This page is devoted to reaching out to mailing lists where academics, professionals, and other good contributors are. The goal is to target experts and other smart people and get them to come join us.

There are many mailing lists for experts and enthusiasts in all fields, the trick is finding them on the Internet. The website for L-Soft, a mailing list software provider contains a large listing of mailing lists, but it's difficult to determine whether these mailing lists are the largest on their topic. Additionally, Google Groups can be a resource, since it contains lots of mailing lists.

The list at present is rather U.S./North American oriented, so list that cover other areas of the world would be particularly appreciated.

The following is a partial list of topics we need mailing lists for:

General, Transdisciplinary, or To Be Classified

Literature, Science, and the Arts

  • Classics
    • CLASSICS-L@LSV.UKY.EDU (from Lsoft, 1500 subscribers)
  • Rhetoric (Classical and Renaissance)
  • Dance
  • Fine Arts
  • Film
  • Literature
  • Music
    • AMS-L@LISTSERV.INDIANA.EDU (American Musicological Society, 1275 members)
    • H-Southern-Music (music of the U.S. south)
  • Philosophy
  • Medieval philosophy and scholasticism
  • Theater and Drama
  • Formal Sciences
    • Logic Foundations of Mathematics, read by many leading mathematical logicians. Note there is no equivalent group for philosophical logicians. (I suggest leave 'Phil-Logic' well alone, as long since taken over by trolls).
    • Mathematics
Drexel University's Math Forum has several mathematics discussion groups that are read by professional mathematicians all over the world. One of them are moderated, so you would need the permission of the moderator to post on that lists. That person might be willing to allow a post about a non-profit knowledge project like CZ.

Math Forum has a newsletter:
http://mathforum.org/kb/forum.jspa?forumID=212
Mathematician Gene Klotz is the founder of Math Forum, and CZ might want to contact him as to how best quickly reach the professional mathematical community for participation at CZ. (Click on his name to send an email to him. No, I don't know him, but he may be in a unique position to at least give some advice.)

    • Information science--the key list is SIGMETRICS@listserv.utk.edu -- DG will post
    • Statistics
  • Natural Sciences
    • Astronomy
      • [2] - looks old, but there may be some life in it.
    • Biology
    • Chemistry CHMINF-L@LISTSERV.INDIANA.EDU is the chemistry librarians' listserv, widely read by chemists as well; I'll post there DG
    • Earth Sciences
    • Physics
      • physhare (discussion of physics and physics teaching) at physhare@psuvm.psu.edu

Area Studies

Applied Arts and Sciences
