owner-mostovi@listbox.com
List Mostovi (=Bridges) is a gathering place for ex-Yugoslav and
other persons of cosmopolitan attitude. It is a place for friendly
exchange of personal experiences beyond political borders.
The list is not moderated, which means that all messages sent from
subscribed addresses are distributed automatically. However, the
Council of Mostovi takes action when necessary, in accordance with
the rules available at the MOSTOVI official web site
thus providing an indirect form of moderation. The most important
rule is: all topics are allowed, but not all attitudes. No messages
displaying or advocating bias on the basis of race, gender or
ethnicity will be tolerated. Thinking before writing is strongly
advised. Creativity is encouraged, while duplication is discouraged
even beyond copyright limits. Quotations must not exceed 50% of the
entire message. Attachments are allowed and welcome, within the
total message size limit of 50 KB.
Participation of members of all nations and denominations is
desirable, English being, along with South Slavic languages, the
official language of the list.

Current editor:
Polona Novak (Polona.Novak@MZT.SI)
``News of Ministry of Science and Technology of the Republic of
Slovenia'' for the first time appeared in October 1990 as an
information bulletin. The intended role of ``News'' is to provide
easy accessible news from science, development, universities,
innovative activities to indviduals and institutions in research and
development area.
At the end of May 1994 the Ministry changed the form of information
which reflected in a change of ``News'' into ``Scientia''. That is,
``Scientia'' is now published as a separate page of column ``Znanje
za razvoj'' (``Knowledge for development'') in a Slovenian
newspaper ``Delo''. The reason for the change was Ministry's
intention to make its information available to a broader public and
to make the information more up-to-date.
``Scientia'' contains announcements and advertisements of the
Ministry, and articles about research policy. It is published twice
a month except in July and August.
