I'd go along with that.  However, something along the lines of
comp.graphics.experts might be better.  There are interesting topics
that aren't necessarily research (esp. for someone like me who has
to code fast just to keep ahead of the bailiff's).  What I suspect
you are really talking about is filtering out the ``how to read
mumble format images'' stuff.  Maybe we could hive off a
comp.graphics.q&a instead?
