Well having heard some opinions about the new newsgroup project, I think I
can distill the lines being put forth as:
Position 1: No change, stay in comp.unix.bsd
Position 2: Create a single newsgroup, comp.os.386bsd or freebsd
Position 3: Create three newsgroups (that was my position) with
comp.os.386bsd.misc
comp.os.386bsd.install
comp.os.386bsd.development
Position 4: Create seven newsgroups (L. Jolitz's position) with
comp.os.386bsd
comp.os.386bsd.kernel
comp.os.386bsd.windows
comp.os.386bsd.sharedlib
comp.os.386bsd.net
comp.os.386bsd.bugs
comp.os.386bsd.ann or announce
Did I fail to represent anyone who has posted in this thread so far?
I would like to get a feel for what sort of support each of these
positions has. Please either follow up or email me.
