This group is more oriented towards learning and teaching about
virtual worlds (course+oriented or some other way, depending what
interested people make it to be - in practice perhaps first FAQ-style
self-learn material and if someone is interested in writing
full-fledged courses about the topic then courses) while if I
understand correctly sci.virtual-wolrds is about virtual reality in
general.

One reason virtual-worlds was proposed / created as one of the first
UU topics is because of the information resource sci.virtual-worlds
provides.

One possible use would be to start planning a course (or a document)
suitable for self-study, covering all aspects of virtual worlds,
taking as a base document material from sci.virtual-worlds.

Ok, so suppose I want to find out info on virtual reality via 
anonymous ftp, etc?  Is this the newsgroup where I would post to ask such a 
question?

If so, cold ya answer it? :)

Thanks.

Not umbc's opinion.  

Or if UU ever created a MU* environment, you could walk over to the
to the archives at the Virtual World campus and:
	1. look it up (trivial)
	2. look up the info and save it on your 
		system (almost trivial)
	3. ask a software agent to get the information from some site
		(programming is not hard, but there may be some
		tricky issues depending on secruity and site accesses)
	
You can also ask someone to mail you the information.  I have 
received tutorial through email while i was still talking to the
person. Sample (re-created) script:
	Otheguy says "Why, do you need a copy of the tutorial?"
	Me nods.
[Otherguy asks for email address, Me responds]
	Otherguy says "just a minute"
[some delay at this point]
	Otherguy smiles.
	Otheguys "Ok, I just mailed to you"
	Me says "thanks."

BTW, as far as I know, UU has no plans for a MU* world.
