MEANS OF COMMUNICATIONS

In order to improve the communication among and with the students the E-Mail-list ORX2006w has been created. To subscribe to this e-mail list you need to use the form at (be careful to write everything in lowercase letters):
http://alice.wu-wien.ac.at/mailman/listinfo/orx2006w
After subscribing you can send e-mail to orx2006w@wi.wu-wien.ac.at, which in turn will cause a re-distribution of it among all people who have subscribed to this list. (More infos in the first installment.)
This e-mail list will allow you to ask any questions (there are no stupid questions!) and to discuss concepts day and night.
