It's been suggested to me informally that this newsgroup is not fulfilling its potential, or meeting the perceived need for a relatively noise-free channel in which UW news and announcements can be conveyed. I am quite open to changing its style and orientation, but cannot usefully do that without advice and input. The group was created in a hurry, without wide consultation, and its moderation is done in odd moments. Neither fact is conducive to a great communication channel. Would it be useful to have a much larger volume of material here? What *would* be useful? Replies either to this userid or to CREDMOND @ WATDCS please.
