> 1) There seem to be two different groups of people interested in the > comp.windows.x group: 1) Those that have just started in X windows, > who have basic questions ranging from the installation of X to how to > operate and set up new sources correctly. 2) Those that have been work- > ing with X windows for a long time, and have questions that are far > above and beyond the normal users, and work with the actual "guts" of X. There actually seems to be three sets of groups, beginners toolkit users / creators system hackers (also instalation questions) Perhapse we need three groups comp.windows.x General questions & beginners comp.windows.tools Discussion of toolkits ( and bugs. ) comp.sys.x For hacking X people or comp.windows.x.guru or comp.expert.x or something.. Are comp.sys groups limited to hardware? Just another thought from: John d Woolverton woolstar@csvax.caltech.edu

I like the ideas you had ... I don't know ... Most people here
just seem to dislike the idea of having different groups. I can
see where everyone working in the same newsgroup can be helpful,
but some of the material covered seems to go way over what I have
used so far (I'm still trying to get the X windows here initialized
so that all of the professors can use the system.) A newsgroup
like comp.windows.x.xpert would be a great newsgroup for those on
the xpert newsletter. comp.windows.x.guru, or comp.windows.x.wizards
could be for the experienced hackers, and people that are into
the "entrails" of X.
Just another friendly thought...
