Well...news.announce.newusers, I believe, has as one of its periodic postings one on how to create a news group. The process starts with discussion (and a call for discussion, posted to certain news groups) and ends with the completion of a vote conducted according to certain rules. You'd want someone with reasonable connectivity to conduct the vote, to minimize the likelihood of lost votes (which, BTW, must be emailed--posted votes turn people off). Is there a volunteer?

Is there a volunteer? Sure. I've got excellent connectivity, and various amounts of spare time. The originator of the idea, however, should write up the Call for Discussion. Larry dev@ecn.purdue.edu
