From: KIDSNET ADMINISTRATION - BOB CARLITZ <JOINKIDS@vms.cis.pitt.edu>

The KIDSNET list was established in May, 1989, to stimulate the development of
an international computer network for the use of children and their teachers. 
The first pieces of this network have already begun to take shape, and the
mailing list now helps to guide its continuing evolution.  Subscribers to the
list include teachers, administrators, scientists, developers of software and
hardware and officials of relevant funding agencies.  Topics of continuing
interest include: 
   * networks at the local, regional and national level
   * news and mail interfaces suitable for children's use
   * network services for the K-12 audience
   * development of new network services and projects
   * collaborative projects at the national and international level
   * network access for the handicapped

Subscription requests may be sent to one of the following addresses:
   kidsnet-request@vms.cis.pitt.edu	[Internet]
   joinkids@vms.cis.pitt.edu		[Internet]
   joinkids@pittvms			[BITNET]

A spin-off of the KIDSNET list is another list called KIDS, which exists for
children to post messages to other children. This second list was established
after some children's postings appeared on KIDSNET and readers requested that
the children's traffic be kept separate.  Subscription requests for KIDS can be
sent to JOINKIDS at the address given above. Postings to the KIDSNET list are
accomplished with mailings to the address 
   kidsnet@vms.cis.pitt.edu		[Internet]
or
   kidsnet@pittvms			[BITNET]
Similarly, children may post messages for the KIDS list by sending mail to 
   kids@vms.cis.pitt.edu		[Internet]
or
   kids@pittvms				[BITNET]
