Well, I asked myself :-) and I said yes, so here we go...

There is now a new mailing list for the discussion of Gnews 2.0 (and
beyond if anyone has any great contributions to make!):

        info-gnews@ics.uci.edu

        -or-

        info-gnews@ucivax.uucp

Please send requests to join this list to:

        info-gnews-request@ics.uci.edu

        -or-

        info-gnews-request@ucivax.uucp

Requests sent to the actual mailing list will probably be ignored and
will also make you look silly.

Once this gets going, I hope Bob creates a gnu.emacs.gnews gatewayed
with the list, since as he said, discussions about news software are
generally better suited to newsgroups.  But, if this is the way it's
gotta be done...
