Summary: 

Earlier, I posted this to net.news.group alone.  I realize now that
maybe it should go to some more relevant groups.  Hence, I repeat my
earlier posting.  (Apologies to those who have seen it already.)

>I propose that a new net group, "net.cogsci" be formed, for discussions
>on topics in Cognitive Science.  At present, three related groups do
>exist, but their focus is different: net.ai is for AI-related discussions
>that are computer science oriented, net.cog-eng focusses on cognitive
>engineering aspects (like human-computer interaction), and net.philosophy
>restricts itself to philosophical discussions that span even into
>religion, ethics, science, etc.
>Some of the topics that would be relevant for net.cogsci are:
>Cognitive Psychology, Computational Linguistics, philosophical
>issues related to cognition, etc.
>Of course, nomenclature can be thrashed out.
>Any comments?
