The main problem for me is all the sources that comes on this list.
I have a fixed amount of disk space, and sometimes have problems with
too many large files floatinbg in.

I suggest there should be a division in comp.os.minix and 
comp.os.minix.source.  If people want the sources they can
either get them by ftp or by using a mail server, or they
can subscribe to the list. If all software is announced in
the comp.os.minix group, then I think there will be a lot of
people who only reads this group, and it will thus limit
the net traffic to some degree.

Also, to form a new subgroup there must be called for a discussion,
and then voting is done after a specific period. But there doesn't
seem to be that big interest on this yet.
