[FOM] Proof Theory List

[Alessio Guglielmi]

Hello,

the recent proof theoretical messages to FOM (*) suggest that there 
is perhaps a use of a mailing list dedicated to proof theory. I don't 
know of any such list, and I believe that I could profit of such a 
forum, mainly for my interest in so-called `structural' proof theory.

After many months on FOM, it's not clear to me whether FOM is the 
right forum for several recent structural proof theory topics. For 
example, I believe that topics like linear and substructural logics 
are hardly to be considered foundational for mathematics.

Is there an interest for a list exclusively dedicated to proof 
theory, or perhaps just to structural proof theory? I'll collect 
answers to this question, and I'll post the results of this survey to 
FOM.

There is also another option: I am running a very small mailing list, 
called PT, which grew up mainly in connection with a certain proof 
theoretical project of ours (the calculus of structures). If people 
feel a need, as I do, for a list exclusively dedicated to proof 
theory, perhaps they could simply subscribe to PT, and we can then 
discuss in that more restricted forum what to do next.

Subscription to PT is moderated. Please let me have your name and, if 
possible, your home page URL. In case you have a non-academic 
address, please let me know who you are. All this is of course to 
prevent abuse. To subscribe, use this link: 
<mailto:Majordomo at Janeway.Inf.TU-Dresden.DE?body=subscribe pt>. The 
list of people on PT is here:

Cheers,

-Alessio
