- I'm getting just about anxious enough about having a 386bsd-only
- newsgroup(s) to do something about it. It appears to me, and from some
- brief discussions with various other enthusiasts, that coordination is
- what is required for this effort, since there are plenty of supporters out
- there.
-
- 1. Is there currently any person or group of people attempting to
- coordinate another go at making a new newsgroup?
-
- 2. Do people think it might be appropriate to do a single mass-mailing to
- all people who have expressed interest in a new newsgroup when we are
- ready to go for a vote (ie, to draw them back to the group if they happen
- to be reading infrequently)? I assume that such an effort would greatly
- benefit those who tend to show up only when they have problems.
-
- I'm willing to contribute some effort to this. In the interest of not
- duplicating anyone's work, I'd like to hear what's already being done on
- this front.
