I teach a Minix based course on Operating Systems at the University of
Pisa. When I had some technical questions, I wrote to P-H Int. (here in
USA), and they said to me to ask any more question to the UK Minix Center.
So I presume that they at least know the existence of this center.
P-H is not a software house; they simply cannot keep upgraded
with all the reserch stuff that flows on Usenet.
On the other side, many academic places are interested in Minix, and
at least in Italy, a number of them have problems with usenet.
So the Minix Center is a good source of information.
By the way, USENET is not for free: to stay connected costs a lot of
money - modem, phone bills, systems managers, etc.
So actually in Italy the Minix Center is the cheapest way of stay in
touch with Minix people.
