  The Reader List partly serves as a platform to create a lively community that discusses and debates key issues in new & old media practice and theory and reflects on the experience of the everyday, as well as technology, culture and politics in city spaces. 
The Sarai Reader's concern with the theme of the Public Domain means that the list is especially open to reflections on what is the nature of a free public space in our cities, and in our various practices, and what it might come to mean. The people who often post on the list include social theorists, activists, filmmakers, telecommunications engineers, artists and software programmers.

Copied from the website (https://mail.sarai.net/mailman/listinfo/reader-list)

Please keep the postings relevant to the description of the list. I find it difficult to wade through so many messages, many of which seem irrelevant to the description above -- and the reasons for which I subscribed to the listserv. I suspect that I'm not the only one. 

Thanks, and best,
Madhumita
