@@ -5,5 +5,43 @@ projects, discuss what's new (or old) in the computing world, and
 generally keep in touch.  Here's a list of some zephyr classes you
 might be interested in subscribing to.
 
-* **<sipb,\*,\*>** - The general class for SIPB members and prospectives. General discussion.
+*Note*: If you're new to zephyr or to any of these classes, you're
+encouraged to just listen to the class at first and get a feel for the
+class's typical modes of behavior.  If you jump right in, you might
+risk accidentally offending someone.
 
+* **<sipb,\*,\*>** - The archetypal zephyr class for SIPB
+members and prospectives. Features general discussion about the SIPB,
+from brainstorming about projects to random bits of humor.  It's
+considered polite to always use an instance when sending to **-c
+sipb**. *High traffic.*
+
+* **<sipb-door,\*,\*>** - Receives a zephyr whenever SIPB's office door opens or closes.  Great way to keep track of whether the [[office]] is open or not.
+
+* **<sipb-auto,\*,\*>** - *High traffic.* Receives a variety of automatically generated zephyrs, including...
+  * **<sipb-auto,sipbmp3,\*>**  - Activity on [sipbmp3](http://http://sipb.mit.edu/sipbmp3/). *Usually high traffic.*
+  * **<sipb-auto,sipb-door,\*>** - See **<sipb-door,\*,\*>** above.
+  * **<sipb-auto,sipb-www,\*>** - Commit logs when changes are pushed to this website.
+  * **<sipb-auto,backups,\*>** - Log messages from automated backups of the SIPB AFS cell.
+  * **<sipb-auto,nagios.stuff.HTTP,\*>** - Alerts when SIPB's [stuff.mit.edu] server goes down.
+
+## Classes for SIPB Projects
+
+In general, you should only sub to these classes *if and only if*
+you're interested in helping with a specific project.
+
+* **<scripts,\*,\*>** - If you're interested in getting involved
+with [Scripts](http://scripts.mit.edu/), subscribe here to see what
+the Scripts team does behind the scenes. *High traffic.*
+
+## Other Useful Classes
+
+These are not actually SIPB-related classes, although many people
+affiliated with SIPB and/or IS&T listen to them.  You should not send
+zephyrs to any of these classes unless you have a good reason.
