Summary: 

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?
