It appears to me, and from some brief discussions with various other enthusiasts, that coordination is what is required for this effort, since there are plenty of supporters out there. 1. Is there currently any person or group of people attempting to coordinate another go at making a new newsgroup? 2. Do people think it might be appropriate to do a single mass-mailing to all people who have expressed interest in a new newsgroup when we are ready to go for a vote (ie, to draw them back to the group if they happen to be reading infrequently)? I assume that such an effort would greatly benefit those who tend to show up only when they have problems. I'm willing to contribute some effort to this. In the interest of not duplicating anyone's work, I'd like to hear what's already being done on this front.
