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.
