Yes, it's called comp.binaries.amiga.  There's a sources newsgroup
called comp.sources.amiga.

That's because the moderator hasn't been doing a very good job of
posting the submitted code.  The Amiga community needs a FAST, RELIABLE
moderator, so I had a long talk with him today and convinved him that
one-day turnaround (in a standard file format) was ESSENTIAL.  He agreed;
said he'd repent and turn over the new leaf today (Thursday).

I just checked our machine and see that Sources and Binaries are back!
It's about time.  Let's keep on his case and make sure he sticks to
his promise.
