Dear Anna, Magdalena, Nazywam si� Boud Roukema. I am about to start a job at TCfA to help organise a cosmology/extragalactic research group. Sebastian just told me that you are TCfA PhD students spending some time in JBO.

To help organise discussion about research projects and techniques among us, Andrzej Marecki and I have started to create some email discussion lists, which are archived on the web. If you look at the pages:

http://www.astro.uni.torun.pl/sympa/

you'll see that there are several lists which might interest you. Since you are at JBO on a long time scale, probably the cosmo-torun list would be the one most useful for you right now - but, of course, you're free to subscribe to any of the lists. The list cosmo-pl would probably interest you too - for the moment there are no messages - it will evolve depending on how people want it to evolve! (I m�j po polsku nie jeszcze jest wystarczy dobry dla dobrze dyskutowa� w tej listy mejla...)

So I've subscribed you both to cosmo-torun and cosmo-pl (using your astro.torun addresses - you can still send mail to the lists from a JBO address, but it requires an authentification key to avoid spam). Of course you may unsubscribe if you think there are too many uninteresting messages...

A very useful function is the archive - but since research ideas may be discussed *before* they are published, there is (moderately) limited access to the

http://www.astro.uni.torun.pl/sympa/cosmo-torun/

archive. If you two and Motylek could tell me or Andrzej M (on-list or off-list) the IP numbers of computer(s) at JBO you are likely to use to access the site, then we would open up access to these IP #s. (The other existing lists have unrestricted access.)

Pozdrawiam Boud
