- Okay, so what we've got since last time....
-
- People seem to like the name .announce more than .info. We just need
- to make the charter broad enough to cover what it needs to carry.
- .announce does give it more of an "official" feel.
-
- There seems to be some support for a .sports group... This should
- actually be a fairly clean split, if you make it clear whether
- "fantasy" sports are covered - i.e. what about Speedball?
-
- .strategic is superior to .strategy - .strategy could cause confusion
- that it is a group for strategies for games, and those belong in their
- respective newsgroups. Still debate on whether puzzle games belong in
- .strategic. They really don't make up much traffic, so it may not be
- that bad to keep them in .misc.
-
- Some support for a forsale group, but again this is low traffic.
- Something has to be left for .misc. If one is created, it might best
- be called .marketplace - games for sale and games wanted.
-
- Now what have I missed?

- There are still parts of Wales where the only concession to gaiety is a striped
- shroud. -- Gwyn Thomas
