1. Peering Data
This section includes several technical documents about this server. They're almost useless for casual users but they're mostly needed by other newsadmins.
USENET servers are linked through USENET feeds that are used by each site in order to exchange the articles with other sites. All technical informations needed to establish an USENET feed with aioe.org are available inside the peering page. More detailed informations about the configuration steps needed in order to correctly establish an USENET real time feed with aioe.org are available in the the peering howto.

Aioe.org policy allows other sites to establish an USENET feed with us even without other already established feeds. This implies that Aioe.org is a good place for asking for the first feed that many sites require before accepting to exchange articles with a new USENET site.
2. aioe.* USENET Hierarchy
Aioe.org has got a small public USENET hiearchy that is called aioe.*
It's used mostly as helpdesk by aioe.org crew and only a few groups are available inside it. At the same time, aioe.* is a public USENET hierarchy that is carried by many other servers in order to allow people to ask for help even if the aioe.org servers go offline. An introductory tutorial about aioe.* hierarchy offers all informations needed by the users in order to use it. Advanced technical data needed by other newsmaster in order to carry aioe.* on their servers are also available in a more complex, technical tutorial about aioe.* that is completely useless for casual users.

Aioe.org allows the users to ask for new groups inside aioe.* hierarchy. Those who need to create a new group should send a request to the helpdesk following the process shown in this page.
3. Technical Howtos
A collection of (old) tutorials about some common USENET tool is also available in the USENET tools section. They are probably useless for casual users.
