Well, I would generalize the subject to newsgroups concerning all HP calculators
(to have in mind that the HP28 and HP48 are strongly related to each other):

one for discussing the HP calculators
one for discussing non-HP calculators
one for discussing MS-DOS compatible "palmtops"

and of course at least one moderate newsgroup for progamm-sources for the HP48
(or all HP calculators - mostly HP48 and HP28)
