Welcome to comp.software-eng, a newsgroup for discussion of software
engineering and related topics.
This mini-FAQ is posted weekly, as a reminder of where to find the Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQ) postings, which appear about every four weeks.
The information in the FAQs and the comp.software-eng archives is available
through the World-Wide Web at
<URL:http://www.cs.queensu.ca/FAQs/SE/>
and also
<URL:http://www.cs.queensu.ca/Software-Engineering/>
Everything visible through the Web is also available via FTP; the above URL
leads to the same directory as you get via anonymous FTP to
<URL:ftp://ftp.cs.queensu.ca/pub/software-eng/www/>
The following other newsgroups discuss topics related to software engineering;
consequently, coverage of these topics in this newsgroup (and thus the
comp.software-eng archives) tends to be sparse. Many of these groups have
their own FAQ's, which you can find in the appropriate *.answers group (e.g.
comp.answers for any group whose name starts with "comp.").
