I'd like to propose that news.announce.newusers be used to distribute monthly
"Commonly Asked Questions" (CAQ) articles for any newsgroup that cares to set
one up. This would be done by someone (Spaf? Another moderator?) who has
time to handle it. The moderator would:
1) Accept CAQ articles. The problem is: who do you accept CAQ articles from?
Anyone, or only Well Known Posters? How do you get to be a WKP? What if
there are 2 or more competing/conflicting CAQ articles?
2) Once a month, or at whatever interval the original sender wanted, cross-
post the CAQ articles to news.announce.newusers and the newsgroup(s) that
the CAQ article refers to.
3) Accept updates to the CAQ articles, and crosspost diffs between the old
and new articles.
Whadya think?
