I think that comp.windows.x.xt .xt.motif .xt.xt+ (if there's demand) .xt.athena would each carry enough traffic. I don't think that either Xw or XUI is necessary, given that both companies appear to be switching to Motif and I haven't seen a lot of traffic about either. I would definitely object to combining all of those into one. I really like to be able to concentrate on the toolkit which I am using and read the others at a different pace and a different priority. That's why I started the Motif mailing list in the first place (which, incidentally, now has well over 100 members and is available in either digest or mailing list form). -kee -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Alphalpha Software, Inc. | Voice/Fax: 617/646-7703 | Home: 617/641-3805 | | 148 Scituate St. | Smart fax, dial number. | | | Arlington, MA 02174 | Dumb fax, dial number, | BBS: 617/641-3722 | | nazgul@alphalpha.com | wait for ring, press 3. | 300/1200/2400 baud | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
