How can news be used in a large workgroup?  In what situations is
it preferable to e-mail?  Here are some ideas for things that might
be good to communicate through news:

* "perishable databases": 
	-- bug reports & statistics
	-- schedules
	-- status reports
* newsletters
* announcements from HQ
* cafeteria menu for the day. :-)

What else could be added to this list?  How is news being used in
corporate and university organizations today?  What is its future
potential?
