+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,sipbmp3,\*>**
- * **<sipb-auto,sipb-door,\*>** - See **<sipb-door,\*,\*>** above

- * **<sipb-auto,backups,\*>**
- * **<sipb-auto,nagios.stuff.HTTP,\*>**

+In general, you should only sub to these classes *if and only if*
+you're interested in helping with a specific project.
+* **<hyades,\*,\*>** — If you're interested in getting involved with Hyades, subscribe here to see Hyades development happens in real time. *High traffic.*
+* **<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.*
+
+* **<barnowl,\*,\*>** — Discussion of [BarnOwl](http://barnowl.mit.edu/), a zephyr client written and maintained by SIPB members.
+

+## 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.

+
+* **<filsrv,\*,\*>** — Announcements of filesystem outages
