xml-doc is for discussion of XML/SGML and document authoring,
particularly authoring of documentation for computer software
and hardware. Topics for which list members have a specific
interest include:
* XML editing applications
* Single-sourcing for multiple audiences/delivery formats
* XML-based content management systems
* DocBook and other document-oriented markup vocabularies
* Converting legacy documents
* Organizational strategies for structured authoring
* Document analysis and markup model design/refinement
* Transitioning from older (e.g. FrameMaker) environments
* Publishing (transforming and delivering XML content)
Please also take a moment to read the NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT,
TROLLS, AND FLAMES at the end of this message.
1. ACCESSING THE XML-DOC WEB SITE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
As a member of the xml-doc mailing list, you also have access
to the xml-doc Web site:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xml-doc/
To use some features of the Web site, you also need to
choose a username and password and register with Yahoo Groups.
2. POSTING AND REPLYING TO MESSAGES
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To send a message to all the members of the mailing list,
e-mail it to:
xml-doc@yahoogroups.com
To post a message via the Web, visit:
http://groups.yahoo.com/post/xml-doc/
By default, when you reply to a message, the reply is sent to
all members of the list. If you want to reply just to the
author of a posted message, please specify only the author's
e-mail address in the "To:" field in your reply.
Here are a few general tips for posting and replying to
messages delivered to online mailing lists:
a. Use meaningful subject lines.
Try not to use generic, uninformative subject lines such as
"Easy question," "Help needed," "Urgent," and so on.
Instead, use meaningful subject lines that will quickly
make sense to the people whose help you are trying to get.
b. Quote only relevant parts of messages when replying.
When replying to a message, please don't quote the author's
entire message unless it's really necessary. Instead,
quote just the parts to which you are directly replying, or
quote only enough to establish a context for your reply.
c. Avoid idiomatic and colloquial English.
Be sensitive to the fact that a significant number of
subscribers to any English-language online mailing list are
non-native speakers of English. By avoiding idiomatic and
colloquial language, you ensure that your message will have
a higher degree of international readability.
Please also take a moment to read the NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT,
TROLLS, AND FLAMES at the end of this message.
3. READING MESSAGES VIA THE WEB AND ACCESSING THE MESSAGE ARCHIVE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
All messages posted to the list are simultaneously posted to
xml-doc website and are immediately available at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/messages/xml-doc/
All messages are also automatically archived. To search
the archive, use the search box on the message page. To browse
the archive by month, visit the xml-doc main page:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xml-doc/
4. UNSUBSCRIBING, RECEIVING DIGESTS, AND PUTTING MAIL ON HOLD
-----------------------------------------------------------------
You can unsubscribe at any time by e-mailing a message to
xml-doc-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com
To specify that you want to receive a digest of messages once
a day instead of receiving messages one at a time as they are
posted, send a blank e-mail message to:
xml-doc-digest@yahoogroups.com
To remain a list member, but receive no mail (for example, if
you plan to read messages by accessing the archive at the
xml-doc Web site or if you want to stop your xml-doc e-mail
while you are on a vacation), send a blank e-mail message to:
xml-doc-nomail@yahoogroups.com
To switch back from the "digest" or "no mail" settings to the
"normal" setting, send a blank e-mail message to:
xml-doc-normal@yahoogroups.com
You can also change your delivery settings from the xml-doc
Web site:
http://groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/xml-doc/
5. DEALING WITH E-MAIL ATTACHMENTS
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Any files that members attach to a message are stripped out
before the message is distributed to the list; you cannot send
or receive attachments via the list.
If you have a file you would like to make available to the
other members of the list, upload it directly to the file
sharing area of the xml-doc Web site:
http://groups.yahoo.com/files/xml-doc/
All interested members can then access or download the file at
their convenience.
6. RECEIVING FURTHER HELP
-----------------------------------------------------------------
If you have questions about the list itself and need to have
them answered by a real person, send them to:
xml-doc-owner@yahoogroups.com
Regards,
Michael Smith
xml-doc moderator and list owner
..................................................................
A. PRIVACY POLICY
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The xml-doc list moderator has a complete list of e-mail
addresses for all xml-doc subscribers, but will not provide
any subscriber e-mail addresses or personal information to any
third party, at any time, for any purpose. Yahoo Groups itself
has a separate privacy policy:
http://privacy.yahoo.com/
Read their policy carefully and make sure it is acceptable to
you. If it's not, you should unsubscribe from the list.
B. NO-SPAM NOTICE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Please don't post messages to xml-doc that are not related
directly to XML/SGML and document authoring. Specific types of
messages that are inappropriate on the list include:
* Product or service announcements that have an excessive
amount of unobjective marketing hype
* Any "for sale" announcements; for example, if you have used
computer equipment or software you're trying to re-sell, or a
domain name you want to unload, posting an announcement to
xml-doc is not an appropriate way to try to find a buyer
You should also read the the Yahoo Terms of Service document,
which contains information about their policy toward spam, along
with other things.
http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/
C. NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT, TROLLS, AND FLAMES
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Before posting or replying to a message, please remember this
list's stated purpose -- as outlined in the TOPIC GUIDELINES --
and show consideration for the fact that there are subscribers on
the list from a wide variety of professional backgrounds, and
that many people aren't going to be nearly as interested as you
might be in any particular discussion that drifts away from the
topic guidelines, no matter how important/relevant you may
personally believe the particular topic drift to be.
[0] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/topic-drift.html
xml-doc is a relatively low-noise list, and relatively free
from trolls[1] and flames[2] and flame bait[3].
[1] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/troll.html
[2] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/flame.html
[3] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/flame-bait.html
To help keep the noise level down, don't fan the flames, and
avoid feeding the trolls if/when they appear (a much better
strategy is simply to ignore them).

1. ACCESSING THE XML-DOC WEB SITE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
As a member of the xml-doc mailing list, you also have access
to the xml-doc Web site:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xml-doc/
To use some features of the Web site, you also need to
choose a username and password and register with Yahoo Groups.
2. POSTING AND REPLYING TO MESSAGES
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To send a message to all the members of the mailing list,
e-mail it to:
xml-doc@yahoogroups.com
To post a message via the Web, visit:
http://groups.yahoo.com/post/xml-doc/
By default, when you reply to a message, the reply is sent to
all members of the list. If you want to reply just to the
author of a posted message, please specify only the author's
e-mail address in the "To:" field in your reply.
Here are a few general tips for posting and replying to
messages delivered to online mailing lists:
a. Use meaningful subject lines.
Try not to use generic, uninformative subject lines such as
"Easy question," "Help needed," "Urgent," and so on.
Instead, use meaningful subject lines that will quickly
make sense to the people whose help you are trying to get.
b. Quote only relevant parts of messages when replying.
When replying to a message, please don't quote the author's
entire message unless it's really necessary. Instead,
quote just the parts to which you are directly replying, or
quote only enough to establish a context for your reply.
c. Avoid idiomatic and colloquial English.
Be sensitive to the fact that a significant number of
subscribers to any English-language online mailing list are
non-native speakers of English. By avoiding idiomatic and
colloquial language, you ensure that your message will have
a higher degree of international readability.
Please also take a moment to read the NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT,
TROLLS, AND FLAMES at the end of this message.
3. READING MESSAGES VIA THE WEB AND ACCESSING THE MESSAGE ARCHIVE

a day instead of receiving messages one at a time as they are

A. PRIVACY POLICY
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The xml-doc list moderator has a complete list of e-mail
addresses for all xml-doc subscribers, but will not provide
any subscriber e-mail addresses or personal information to any
third party, at any time, for any purpose. Yahoo Groups itself
has a separate privacy policy:
http://privacy.yahoo.com/
Read their policy carefully and make sure it is acceptable to
you. If it's not, you should unsubscribe from the list.
B. NO-SPAM NOTICE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Please don't post messages to xml-doc that are not related
directly to XML/SGML and document authoring. Specific types of
messages that are inappropriate on the list include:
* Product or service announcements that have an excessive
amount of unobjective marketing hype
* Any "for sale" announcements; for example, if you have used
computer equipment or software you're trying to re-sell, or a
domain name you want to unload, posting an announcement to
xml-doc is not an appropriate way to try to find a buyer
You should also read the the Yahoo Terms of Service document,
which contains information about their policy toward spam, along
with other things.
http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/
C. NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT, TROLLS, AND FLAMES
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Before posting or replying to a message, please remember this
list's stated purpose -- as outlined in the TOPIC GUIDELINES --
and show consideration for the fact that there are subscribers on
the list from a wide variety of professional backgrounds, and
that many people aren't going to be nearly as interested as you
might be in any particular discussion that drifts away from the
topic guidelines, no matter how important/relevant you may
personally believe the particular topic drift to be.
[0] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/topic-drift.html
xml-doc is a relatively low-noise list, and relatively free
from trolls[1] and flames[2] and flame bait[3].
[1] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/troll.html
[2] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/flame.html
[3] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/flame-bait.html
To help keep the noise level down, don't fan the flames, and
avoid feeding the trolls if/when they appear (a much better
strategy is simply to ignore them).

any subscriber e-mail addresses or personal information to any
third party, at any time, for any purpose. Yahoo Groups itself
has a separate privacy policy:
http://privacy.yahoo.com/
Read their policy carefully and make sure it is acceptable to
you. If it's not, you should unsubscribe from the list.
B. NO-SPAM NOTICE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Please don't post messages to xml-doc that are not related
directly to XML/SGML and document authoring. Specific types of
messages that are inappropriate on the list include:
* Product or service announcements that have an excessive
amount of unobjective marketing hype
* Any "for sale" announcements; for example, if you have used
computer equipment or software you're trying to re-sell, or a
domain name you want to unload, posting an announcement to
xml-doc is not an appropriate way to try to find a buyer
You should also read the the Yahoo Terms of Service document,
which contains information about their policy toward spam, along
with other things.
http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/
C. NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT, TROLLS, AND FLAMES
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Before posting or replying to a message, please remember this
list's stated purpose -- as outlined in the TOPIC GUIDELINES --
and show consideration for the fact that there are subscribers on
the list from a wide variety of professional backgrounds, and
that many people aren't going to be nearly as interested as you
might be in any particular discussion that drifts away from the
topic guidelines, no matter how important/relevant you may
personally believe the particular topic drift to be.

xml-doc is a relatively low-noise list, and relatively free
from trolls[1] and flames[2] and flame bait[3].
[1] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/troll.html
[2] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/flame.html
[3] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/flame-bait.html
To help keep the noise level down, don't fan the flames, and
avoid feeding the trolls if/when they appear (a much better
strategy is simply to ignore them).

1. ACCESSING THE XML-DOC WEB SITE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
As a member of the xml-doc mailing list, you also have access
to the xml-doc Web site:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xml-doc/
To use some features of the Web site, you also need to
choose a username and password and register with Yahoo Groups.
2. POSTING AND REPLYING TO MESSAGES
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To send a message to all the members of the mailing list,
e-mail it to:
xml-doc@yahoogroups.com
To post a message via the Web, visit:
http://groups.yahoo.com/post/xml-doc/
By default, when you reply to a message, the reply is sent to
all members of the list. If you want to reply just to the
author of a posted message, please specify only the author's
e-mail address in the "To:" field in your reply.
Here are a few general tips for posting and replying to
messages delivered to online mailing lists:
a. Use meaningful subject lines.
Try not to use generic, uninformative subject lines such as
"Easy question," "Help needed," "Urgent," and so on.
Instead, use meaningful subject lines that will quickly
make sense to the people whose help you are trying to get.
b. Quote only relevant parts of messages when replying.
When replying to a message, please don't quote the author's
entire message unless it's really necessary. Instead,
quote just the parts to which you are directly replying, or
quote only enough to establish a context for your reply.
c. Avoid idiomatic and colloquial English.
Be sensitive to the fact that a significant number of
subscribers to any English-language online mailing list are
non-native speakers of English. By avoiding idiomatic and
colloquial language, you ensure that your message will have
a higher degree of international readability.
Please also take a moment to read the NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT,
TROLLS, AND FLAMES at the end of this message.
3. READING MESSAGES VIA THE WEB AND ACCESSING THE MESSAGE ARCHIVE

4. UNSUBSCRIBING, RECEIVING DIGESTS, AND PUTTING MAIL ON HOLD
-----------------------------------------------------------------
You can unsubscribe at any time by e-mailing a message to
xml-doc-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com
To specify that you want to receive a digest of messages once
a day instead of receiving messages one at a time as they are
posted, send a blank e-mail message to:
xml-doc-digest@yahoogroups.com
To remain a list member, but receive no mail (for example, if
you plan to read messages by accessing the archive at the
xml-doc Web site or if you want to stop your xml-doc e-mail
while you are on a vacation), send a blank e-mail message to:
xml-doc-nomail@yahoogroups.com
To switch back from the "digest" or "no mail" settings to the
"normal" setting, send a blank e-mail message to:
xml-doc-normal@yahoogroups.com
You can also change your delivery settings from the xml-doc
Web site:
http://groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/xml-doc/
5. DEALING WITH E-MAIL ATTACHMENTS
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Any files that members attach to a message are stripped out
before the message is distributed to the list; you cannot send
or receive attachments via the list.

It is not too late for you to speak at Balisage!
The peer-reviewed part of the Balisage 2011 program has been
scheduled (http://www.balisage.net/2012/Program.html) But the Balisage
world moves quickly, so every year some speaking slots are set aside
for late-breaking news, updates, and fast-breaking stories.
The time is now. Proposals for late-breaking presentations at
Balisage are due June 15th. Details here:
<http://www.balisage.net/latebreaking-call.html>http://www.balisage.net/latebrea\
king-call.html
Your proposal should be either:
a) really late-breaking (it reports on something that happened in
the last month or two) or
b) a well-developed paper, an extended paper proposal, or a very long
abstract with references on a topic related to Markup and not
already on the 2012 conference program.
The competition for late-breaking slots is fierce, so start working
on your late-breaking proposal today!

directly to XML/SGML and document authoring. Specific types of
messages that are inappropriate on the list include:
* Product or service announcements that have an excessive
amount of unobjective marketing hype
* Any "for sale" announcements; for example, if you have used
computer equipment or software you're trying to re-sell, or a
domain name you want to unload, posting an announcement to
xml-doc is not an appropriate way to try to find a buyer
You should also read the the Yahoo Terms of Service document,

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Before posting or replying to a message, please remember this
list's stated purpose -- as outlined in the TOPIC GUIDELINES --
and show consideration for the fact that there are subscribers on
the list from a wide variety of professional backgrounds, and

might be in any particular discussion that drifts away from the
topic guidelines, no matter how important/relevant you may
personally believe the particular topic drift to be.

xml-doc is a relatively low-noise list, and relatively free
from trolls[1] and flames[2] and flame bait[3].

To help keep the noise level down, don't fan the flames, and
avoid feeding the trolls if/when they appear (a much better
strategy is simply to ignore them).

1. ACCESSING THE XML-DOC WEB SITE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
As a member of the xml-doc mailing list, you also have access
to the xml-doc Web site:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xml-doc/
To use some features of the Web site, you also need to
choose a username and password and register with Yahoo Groups.
2. POSTING AND REPLYING TO MESSAGES
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To send a message to all the members of the mailing list,
e-mail it to:
xml-doc@yahoogroups.com
To post a message via the Web, visit:
http://groups.yahoo.com/post/xml-doc/
By default, when you reply to a message, the reply is sent to
all members of the list. If you want to reply just to the
author of a posted message, please specify only the author's
e-mail address in the "To:" field in your reply.
Here are a few general tips for posting and replying to
messages delivered to online mailing lists:
a. Use meaningful subject lines.
Try not to use generic, uninformative subject lines such as
"Easy question," "Help needed," "Urgent," and so on.
Instead, use meaningful subject lines that will quickly
make sense to the people whose help you are trying to get.
b. Quote only relevant parts of messages when replying.
When replying to a message, please don't quote the author's
entire message unless it's really necessary. Instead,
quote just the parts to which you are directly replying, or
quote only enough to establish a context for your reply.
c. Avoid idiomatic and colloquial English.
Be sensitive to the fact that a significant number of
subscribers to any English-language online mailing list are
non-native speakers of English. By avoiding idiomatic and
colloquial language, you ensure that your message will have
a higher degree of international readability.
Please also take a moment to read the NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT,
TROLLS, AND FLAMES at the end of this message.
3. READING MESSAGES VIA THE WEB AND ACCESSING THE MESSAGE ARCHIVE

4. UNSUBSCRIBING, RECEIVING DIGESTS, AND PUTTING MAIL ON HOLD
-----------------------------------------------------------------
You can unsubscribe at any time by e-mailing a message to
xml-doc-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com
To specify that you want to receive a digest of messages once
a day instead of receiving messages one at a time as they are
posted, send a blank e-mail message to:

To remain a list member, but receive no mail (for example, if
you plan to read messages by accessing the archive at the
xml-doc Web site or if you want to stop your xml-doc e-mail
while you are on a vacation), send a blank e-mail message to:
xml-doc-nomail@yahoogroups.com
To switch back from the "digest" or "no mail" settings to the
"normal" setting, send a blank e-mail message to:
xml-doc-normal@yahoogroups.com
You can also change your delivery settings from the xml-doc
Web site:
http://groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/xml-doc/
5. DEALING WITH E-MAIL ATTACHMENTS
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Any files that members attach to a message are stripped out
before the message is distributed to the list; you cannot send
or receive attachments via the list.

For your autumn technical training planning, please note that there
are four in-depth hands-on XML-related classes that I have written
and will be delivering at the end of October in Utrecht
Netherlands. The separate publicly-subscribed classes are in XSLT,
XSL-FO, OASIS UBL and OASIS Code Lists.
For 10% savings, the early-bird date of October 1, 2012 is now less
than a month away. Please subscribe early to prevent the classes
from being cancelled due to insufficient support by the early-bird date.
The details can be found linked from a number of different sources:
Our home page:
http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/x/
Open Source Academy (the host):
http://www.opensourceacademy.nl/index.php?id=56&L=1
ePractice:
http://www.epractice.eu/en/events/cranetraining
LinkedIn:
http://linkd.in/GUYLf2
I have had the privilege to deliver the material around the world
many times over the years, and I have been the instructor for all of
these deliveries:
http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/training/pastsch.htm
By way of credentials for my work, we believe my qualifications
compare very well against other contractors and trainers ... I am a
day-by-day practitioner in these technologies and this will be an
excellent opportunity for the students to learn from my guidance:
http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/bio/gkholman.htm
By far most of our world training is delivered privately on-site for
organizations, but we periodically schedule these publicly-subscribed
classes to give the opportunity for companies to send fewer students
than would typically warrant running a private class.
For those unable to attend the live classes, there are two other
options for XSLT. In 2008 the entire 5-day XSLT class was recorded
as a 24-hour DVD-ROM, with exercises. The 2-DVD set can be purchased
and shared as physical media:
http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/training/ptux/ptux-video.htm
Alternatively, the entire 24 hours is uploaded for online viewing,
with 5 hours marked as free access without having to create a Udemy account:
http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/links/udemy-ptux-online.htm
Good luck in your training planning for the upcoming months. Please
contact me off-list if you have any questions.

A. PRIVACY POLICY
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The xml-doc list moderator has a complete list of e-mail
addresses for all xml-doc subscribers, but will not provide
any subscriber e-mail addresses or personal information to any
third party, at any time, for any purpose. Yahoo Groups itself
has a separate privacy policy:
http://privacy.yahoo.com/
Read their policy carefully and make sure it is acceptable to
you. If it's not, you should unsubscribe from the list.
B. NO-SPAM NOTICE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Please don't post messages to xml-doc that are not related
directly to XML/SGML and document authoring. Specific types of
messages that are inappropriate on the list include:
* Product or service announcements that have an excessive
amount of unobjective marketing hype
* Any "for sale" announcements; for example, if you have used
computer equipment or software you're trying to re-sell, or a
domain name you want to unload, posting an announcement to
xml-doc is not an appropriate way to try to find a buyer
You should also read the the Yahoo Terms of Service document,
which contains information about their policy toward spam, along
with other things.
http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/
C. NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT, TROLLS, AND FLAMES
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Before posting or replying to a message, please remember this
list's stated purpose -- as outlined in the TOPIC GUIDELINES --
and show consideration for the fact that there are subscribers on
the list from a wide variety of professional backgrounds, and
that many people aren't going to be nearly as interested as you
might be in any particular discussion that drifts away from the
topic guidelines, no matter how important/relevant you may
personally believe the particular topic drift to be.
[0] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/topic-drift.html
xml-doc is a relatively low-noise list, and relatively free
from trolls[1] and flames[2] and flame bait[3].

[2] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/flame.html
[3] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/flame-bait.html
To help keep the noise level down, don't fan the flames, and
avoid feeding the trolls if/when they appear (a much better
strategy is simply to ignore them).

xml-doc is for discussion of XML/SGML and document authoring,
particularly authoring of documentation for computer software
and hardware. Topics for which list members have a specific
interest include:
* XML editing applications
* Single-sourcing for multiple audiences/delivery formats
* XML-based content management systems
* DocBook and other document-oriented markup vocabularies
* Converting legacy documents
* Organizational strategies for structured authoring

1. ACCESSING THE XML-DOC WEB SITE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
As a member of the xml-doc mailing list, you also have access
to the xml-doc Web site:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xml-doc/
To use some features of the Web site, you also need to
choose a username and password and register with Yahoo Groups.
2. POSTING AND REPLYING TO MESSAGES
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To send a message to all the members of the mailing list,
e-mail it to:
xml-doc@yahoogroups.com
To post a message via the Web, visit:
http://groups.yahoo.com/post/xml-doc/
By default, when you reply to a message, the reply is sent to
all members of the list. If you want to reply just to the
author of a posted message, please specify only the author's
e-mail address in the "To:" field in your reply.
Here are a few general tips for posting and replying to
messages delivered to online mailing lists:
a. Use meaningful subject lines.
Try not to use generic, uninformative subject lines such as
"Easy question," "Help needed," "Urgent," and so on.
Instead, use meaningful subject lines that will quickly
make sense to the people whose help you are trying to get.
b. Quote only relevant parts of messages when replying.
When replying to a message, please don't quote the author's
entire message unless it's really necessary. Instead,
quote just the parts to which you are directly replying, or
quote only enough to establish a context for your reply.
c. Avoid idiomatic and colloquial English.
Be sensitive to the fact that a significant number of
subscribers to any English-language online mailing list are
non-native speakers of English. By avoiding idiomatic and
colloquial language, you ensure that your message will have
a higher degree of international readability.

make sense to the people whose help you are trying to get.
b. Quote only relevant parts of messages when replying.
When replying to a message, please don't quote the author's
entire message unless it's really necessary. Instead,
quote just the parts to which you are directly replying, or
quote only enough to establish a context for your reply.
c. Avoid idiomatic and colloquial English.
Be sensitive to the fact that a significant number of
subscribers to any English-language online mailing list are
non-native speakers of English. By avoiding idiomatic and
colloquial language, you ensure that your message will have
a higher degree of international readability.
Please also take a moment to read the NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT,
TROLLS, AND FLAMES at the end of this message.
3. READING MESSAGES VIA THE WEB AND ACCESSING THE MESSAGE ARCHIVE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
All messages posted to the list are simultaneously posted to
xml-doc website and are immediately available at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/messages/xml-doc/
All messages are also automatically archived. To search
the archive, use the search box on the message page. To browse
the archive by month, visit the xml-doc main page:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xml-doc/
4. UNSUBSCRIBING, RECEIVING DIGESTS, AND PUTTING MAIL ON HOLD
-----------------------------------------------------------------
You can unsubscribe at any time by e-mailing a message to
xml-doc-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com
To specify that you want to receive a digest of messages once
a day instead of receiving messages one at a time as they are
posted, send a blank e-mail message to:
xml-doc-digest@yahoogroups.com
To remain a list member, but receive no mail (for example, if
you plan to read messages by accessing the archive at the
xml-doc Web site or if you want to stop your xml-doc e-mail
while you are on a vacation), send a blank e-mail message to:
xml-doc-nomail@yahoogroups.com
To switch back from the "digest" or "no mail" settings to the
"normal" setting, send a blank e-mail message to:
xml-doc-normal@yahoogroups.com
You can also change your delivery settings from the xml-doc
Web site:
http://groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/xml-doc/
5. DEALING WITH E-MAIL ATTACHMENTS
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Any files that members attach to a message are stripped out
before the message is distributed to the list; you cannot send
or receive attachments via the list.
If you have a file you would like to make available to the
other members of the list, upload it directly to the file
sharing area of the xml-doc Web site:
http://groups.yahoo.com/files/xml-doc/
All interested members can then access or download the file at
their convenience.
6. RECEIVING FURTHER HELP
-----------------------------------------------------------------
If you have questions about the list itself and need to have
them answered by a real person, send them to:
xml-doc-owner@yahoogroups.com
Regards,
Michael Smith
xml-doc moderator and list owner
..................................................................
A. PRIVACY POLICY
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The xml-doc list moderator has a complete list of e-mail
addresses for all xml-doc subscribers, but will not provide
any subscriber e-mail addresses or personal information to any
third party, at any time, for any purpose. Yahoo Groups itself
has a separate privacy policy:
http://privacy.yahoo.com/
Read their policy carefully and make sure it is acceptable to
you. If it's not, you should unsubscribe from the list.
B. NO-SPAM NOTICE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Please don't post messages to xml-doc that are not related
directly to XML/SGML and document authoring. Specific types of
messages that are inappropriate on the list include:
* Product or service announcements that have an excessive
amount of unobjective marketing hype
* Any "for sale" announcements; for example, if you have used
computer equipment or software you're trying to re-sell, or a
domain name you want to unload, posting an announcement to
xml-doc is not an appropriate way to try to find a buyer
You should also read the the Yahoo Terms of Service document,
which contains information about their policy toward spam, along
with other things.

C. NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT, TROLLS, AND FLAMES
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Before posting or replying to a message, please remember this
list's stated purpose -- as outlined in the TOPIC GUIDELINES --
and show consideration for the fact that there are subscribers on
the list from a wide variety of professional backgrounds, and
that many people aren't going to be nearly as interested as you
might be in any particular discussion that drifts away from the
topic guidelines, no matter how important/relevant you may
personally believe the particular topic drift to be.
[0] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/topic-drift.html
xml-doc is a relatively low-noise list, and relatively free
from trolls[1] and flames[2] and flame bait[3].
[1] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/troll.html
[2] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/flame.html
[3] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/flame-bait.html
To help keep the noise level down, don't fan the flames, and
avoid feeding the trolls if/when they appear (a much better
strategy is simply to ignore them).
