Who will do the work maintaining the groups? 2. What about sites without news? 3. The mailing system is working (never change a running system...). 4. Tony wrote about sending some FAQs, etc. I think this is a pretty good idea which will abandon the problems flooding the mailing list. So I vote a g a i n s t substituting the mailing service by a newsgroup. However, I wouldn't mind offering an a d d i t i o n a l newsgroup. martin haltmayer AT uni-augsburg DOT de
