Please note that I am not suggesting that we do away with
comp.sources.unix, or Rich.  What I am suggesting is that we consider
exploring other methods of running sources groups, and one method to
consider is peer review.  I simply want to find out if enough people
are interested in a peer reviewed newsgroup to make it feasible.

Remember, people who are interested in participating in a peer
reviewed sources group (comp.sources.reviewed?) should mail a note to

	reviewed@calvin.doc.ca

stating their interest.
