- Actually, after having thought it over again, I think that a
- comp.os.linux.news group might be useful. It would be for
- announcements of new versions, ports, etc, for buglists, patches,
- Linux-on-tv, etc. Probably moderated.
-
- What I am against is c.o.l.x (X-related questions seem to be mostly
- installation, and if people have problems installing, we either need
- better documentation or most probably users that (sic) READ
- documentation), c.o.l.kernel (not enough traffic, and there's a mailing
- list), c.o.l.programming (not enough Linux-specific traffic).
-
- I'll think this over, and if I still think comp.os.linux.news (possibly
- .announce) is a good idea, I'll post an RFD (unless somebody beats me to
- it). One opposition is that there aren't _that_ many announcments, and
- those could be handled either by putting 'ANNOUNCE' on the subject line,
- or creating a mailing list for this.
