A new Photo-3D mailing list has been created.  

This list has been established for the purposes of discussing 3D 
photography and closely allied subjects.  In this list, 3D is defined as the 
presentation of separate and different single images for the left and right 
eyes.  This definition is not intended to exclude lenticular presentations 
or the Pulfrich effect or any other traditional technique.  It _is_ intended 
to exclude discussions of, for instance, perspective drawings and ray 
tracings (often called 3D by people in other fields) and is also intended to 
limit the discussion of holography to headlines only, inasmuch as 
holography is a radically different technique (and after all should by rights 
have its own newsgroup or mailing list).  Unfortunately, this is not the 
place to post 3D computer images.  

Discussions of the following (in no particular order) are encouraged.

Topics:
3D art 
3D equipment and products, both commercial and home-brew
3D techniques
3D personal experiences
3D theory

Media:
3D photographic stills and movies
3D television
3D computer graphics

I'm not sure if I should mention this or not because I've never seen the
problem in a 3D group, but this list is a genteel list.  Please take your 
flames elsewhere.  The present form of communication is limited and 
hence frustrating; please use your frustration to redouble your efforts at 
good communication.

You have a choice of how you receive the proceedings of this list.  You may 
elect to have posts delivered to you as we receive them or you may elect 
to receive a "daily digest" which is a compendium of the day's posts.  If 
traffic is excessive on any given day, the list program will send out more 
than one daily digest on that day.

Here's how to join (clip and save):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This list is handled by listserv version 5.5.  It is capable of automatically
handling a number of requests.

To interact with the list control programs send email to listserv@csg.lbl.gov.
No subject line is needed.  Put the request in the body of the mail.  Response
takes a minute or two, not including possible email delays.  Below is a list
of the requests which you are to put in the body of the message.


subscribe photo-3d <your name>
-------------------------------
Subscribe to the list.  The default mode is immediate article reception.
This can be changed to daily digest, see below.  <your name> really is
your name.  Your address will be pulled from your post's header.


unsubscribe photo-3d 
-----------------------
Remove yourself from the list.


information photo-3d
----------------------
Get information about the specified list.


set photo-3d MAIL DIGEST
-------------------------
set digest mode.  This will select the daily digest mode of traffic - the 
articles are collected until they exceed 5000 lines or the oldest is 24
hours old.  You may put this line on the next line below your 
subscribe photo-3d <your name> line.


set photo-3d MAIL ACK
----------------------
Set immediate mode.  This is the default.  You will receive articles as they
are posted.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

You may initiate posts by sending to photo-3d@csg.lbl.gov or you may reply 
to the list.
