This is the FAQ for the Usenet Info Center. The WWW version of the FAQ can be found at http://www.clark.net/pub/usenet-i/www/info-center-faq.html and the text version at ftp://ftp.clark.net/pub/usenet-i/info/info-center-faq This document is designed to tell you what the Usenet Info Center is all about. Suggestions and/or corrections are always welcome. Any comments except direct submissions should be sent to kevinatk@home.com, NOT usenet-b@clark.net.
This Usenet Info Center Launch Pad (the starting point for the www part) can be found at http://metalab.unc.edu/usenet-i/. Various other information can be found at ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/docs/about-the-net/usenet-info-center.
This is a brand new version on the FAQ, certain information, that was a hang over from when the project started, has been dropped. The old FAQ should be available soon at the history archives.

Specifically Newsgroups Info Center contains:
If you do send corrections to me PLEASE at very least include:
Send the corrections to kevinatk@home.com NOT usenet-i@clark.net.
If you are unhappy with the description for any of these groups send the corrected descriptions to me a kevinatk@home.com and if I like the new desc. better I will add it to the database. (There is no special format you need to use, for now.)
The former instructions will appear when the scrip is back on line.
