- actually, *last* time we talked about this (as far as I know), we got
- to the point where a bunch of people said "yeah, a newsgroup for
- informational postings might be useful", and then no one agreed to do
- the actual work of creating the group.
-
- It's not *that* complex. Someone needs to post an official RFD to the
- appropriate newsgroups. We talk about what a good or bad idea
- soc.motss.info is for at least three weeks, until we all come to a
- vague consensus about what the group should be like, what it's charter
- should be, if it should be moderated, who moderates it (Roger Klorese
- volunteered once, so did Bob Donahue and a few others), etc. Then
- someone posts an official call for votes, tabulates votes for a few
- weeks, and reports the result. It's not that big a deal, but it is a
- Responsibility.
-
- And Tom, you're quickly establishing yourself as a Usenet guru, what
- with your INN help sheet and all. I bet *you* could run the RFD/CFV
- just fine. We'd all love you for it.
