In order to escape some of the psychological discussions that seem to go in
circles in the comp.ai group (ie. surrealism of dreams, free will, add
nausium) it would be nice to be able to read a group that actually discussed
an application/technique.  A number of my colleagues have stopped reading
comp.ai because of this problem.  I realize that some of the psychological
discussions are important parts of ai but I feel that they belong in their
own group so that that those concerned with other aspects of ai can ignore
them.

I am currently doing postgraduate work in the area of AI and Planning and
would welcome such a new group.  I have compiled an extensive bibliography
that I would be willing to post if requested.
