The new newsgroups have arrived! Use them in good health!
Please try to get your conversations sorted out into the new groups
as quickly as possible, by editing the Newsgroups: and Followups-To:
lines on everything you post for the next few weeks. After that,
things should take care of themselves.
Here is a breakdown of the present Amiga newsgroup situation:
comp.sys.amiga existing, going away
comp.sys.amiga.games existing, no change
comp.sys.amiga.hardware existing, no change
comp.sys.amiga.tech existing, going away
comp.sys.amiga.misc replacing comp.sys.amiga, but not with all
the existing traffic, I hope
comp.sys.amiga.programmer renaming .tech, some traffic should move
comp.sys.amiga.announce new, moderated
comp.sys.amiga.reviews new, moderated
comp.sys.amiga.introduction new, monitored
comp.sys.amiga.audio new
comp.sys.amiga.graphics new
comp.sys.amiga.marketplace new
comp.sys.amiga.multimedia new
comp.sys.amiga.applications new
comp.sys.amiga.emulations new
comp.sys.amiga.advocacy new
comp.sys.amiga.datacomm new
comp.unix.amiga new
comp.sources.amiga existing, no change
comp.binaries.amiga existing, no change
alt.sources.amiga existing, no change
Since comp.sys.amiga is going away in about a month, it is especially
important to get traffic move off here and into the appropriate groups
as soon as possible, with unclassifiable stuff moved to c.s.a.misc.
Everyone take the time to help out, please! The more each individual
takes responsibility for assuring a correct newsgroup for each posting,
the smoother the transition will go.
Refer problems with the amiga-relay to nelson@udel.edu with copies to
amiga-relay-request@udel.edu, the rest to me.

Or so I gather. Mayhap you could read Kent's exaflame in alt.flame, where he posted 4,000 lines of stuff on the great c.s.a.reorg. Some creative invective there!

Were there any proposed groups that didn't make it?
All the newsgroups voted upon passed; there were probably that many or
more names/groups proposed in the various CFD's and discussions that
never made it to the vote stage.
I've pointed followups to comp.sys.amiga.misc, since at some unspecified
but probably near time in the future, comp.sys.amiga will become just a
hierarchy node, no longer elegible for posting. I invite everyone else
to do the same when following up articles in this group: pick one of the
new groups for the topic and make an entry on the followups line and the
newsgroups line to put your response and all subsequent articles in the
other group. It will be a lot less traumatic if comp.sys.amiga and
comp.sys.amiga.tech are idle when they are withdrawn.
I'm not a sysop, but from the evidence, there are no aliases from c.s.a
to c.s.a.misc and from c.s.a.tech to c.s.a.programmer, or those two
groups would be much busier than at present; I don't know where in the
transition process this is supposed to happen, or if Eliot Lear has
taken on the job of doing so, or even if he can without intervention by
each local sysop.
By the way, there is a certain amount of low level muttering about
adding still more newsgroups. I suggest this be deferred for at least a
year while the existing groups settle in a bit and we see how these
work. We still haven't done the deletions, and the folks using
amiga-relay are reporting some problems getting their subscriptions
straightened out, which I've take a little email action to try to
relieve with the help of the relay operator.
