Index to PMJS logs: overview of topics discussed on the pmjs list.
To mark the tenth anniversary of PMJS, the logs of our discussions (1999-2007) are gradually being opened to the public. Following the practice of the new PMJS listserve, email addresses are hidden from spamming robots. Logs that are now available for reading without a password are marked OPEN. Ask the editor if you want to read a log that still requires authorization.
No password is required for the public archives, which are marked by bold blue links on titles of threads.
The FIND command of your browser is recommended searching this page. Lists of message subjects have been abbreviated, with many announcements omitted. Fuller lists of subjects are given in the logs. For the logs themselves, use this search form:
