I'll ask the proper people here for an OK, and if it is, I'll announce the info-gnews mailing list based here at UCI. NOTE THAT IT DOESN'T EXIST YET. I'll announce it when (and if) I create it. Once it gets going, then we can make it a gnu.group! |In article <8906062327.AA04162@radio.astro.utoronto.ca> brian@RADIO.ASTRO.UTORONTO.CA (Brian Glendenning) writes: | For me the bottom line is that gnus lets me get through the news | faster, and that it appears to be more actively worked on. | |Gnews development seems to have stopped with version 2.0 last fall.

I think an active list/group would at least lead to more community development and sharing of ideas on how to improve and fix Gnews, which is the *best* (religious war alert) reader around (as long as you have a fast system :-).
