Do you think this makes sense. I feel that setting up mini-nets will give raise to both increased participation and will give room for more technical and detailed discussions on the respective subtopics. I am just speculating.... In order to reach an agreement on the subtopics one may start with a list which can be posted on the net.ai. I was thinking along these lines:- * Natural language/story understanding, knowledge representation Cog. Sc. * Logic programming/planning robotics.Prolog * Ai tools and techniques and KB applications, languages,hardware * AI in Business/Expert systmes and Commercial AI/New ventures etc. and finally, the general net.ai for general notices announcements etc. The more I think about it , it does not seem to be a very good idea. Does it make a lot of sense in breaking up net.ai? Any ideas?
