I think in this groups there is possibly a special interest in the VHDL-1076
(IEEE) language and tools. After a successfull vote (thanks to all voters) a
newsgroup for this language does exist: comp.lang.vhdl. (The creation
message was sent out on january 4th - maybe it'll take some days to travel
around the world)

About the group:
The newsgroup comp.lang.vhdl was created in January 1990. It's an
international forum to discuss ALL topics related to the language VHDL which
is actually defined by the IEEE Standard 1076/87 (current version - may
change in 1992). Included are language problems, tools that only support
subsets etc. NOT other languages such as Verilog HDL. This is not strict -
if there is the need to discuss information exchange from EDIF to VHDL for
example, this is a topic of the group. The group is unmoderated. Please
think carefully before posting - it costs a lot of money! (Take a look into
your LRM for example - if you still cannot find the answer, post your
question, but make sure, that other readers will get the point).

There is a regular posting in comp.lang.vhdl.
