[comp.sys.next] suggestion for comp.sys.next services

lacsap@media.mit.edu (Pascal Chesnais) (05/16/91)

In the discussion of splitting the group, a couple ideas keeps coming up
which the FAQ can not address (it is getting pretty massive!).  However
to have them work we need volunteers to do them on a regular basis.  If you
wish to volunteer for one of these let me know via email.

Welcome to comp.sys.next:
This is a posting that would happen once a week.  Essentially giving
guidelines about this group, where information comes from, when... etc..
It is a document that requires care to draft, but once written will
probably under go very few changes...  The person volunteering for this
would be responsible for making sure it gets written, and posting it
once a week.

NeXT week:
I get requests from people to put in a blurb for their events in the FAQ.
I have to decline given how big the FAQ is getting.  However it would be
cool if someone would post every friday a schedule of NeXT related
events for the following week (assuming the stuff makes it through the
net in a two day time span, it may even be timely).  The calendar would
be broken down into geographical regions.  This chore would take lots
of time and good organization skills.

NeXT User Groups Directory:
Someone is maintaining a list of User groups around the country.  This is
a great service, which I hope will continue.  It would be nice if this
got posted every so often.

In addition to having these on comp.sys.next, it would be nice if they
were kept on the archive servers.
