I *LIKE* the idea of budding off a c.s.a.#? newsgroup or two;
c.s.a. yields abou 150-200 msgs a day here!  I also think that
we should take it slow.  For the sake of unity behind good
sense,
I support Ethan Solomita's formula:

      c.s.a.multimedia   --- to put graphics, animation, sound,
                             and video together, the way the
                             Amiga makes it happen  (and to
                             avoid fragmenting into nothingness)

      c.s.a.announce/hot or some fancy synonym ---  for hot
                             news, Expo reports, and such.
                             Spontaneous product reviews might
                             also fit here.

Either incorporated in announce/hot, or more likely spun off
*later*, after we see how the first two hold out...

      c.s.a.bugs/reviews/reports  -- bug reports, requests for
                             technical help, reviews of products
                             (in lieu of being in
                             announce/hot...)

There's my input.  Comments?
