I would like to propose a new newsgroup. This is why I see the need:
 
Routes of reliable communication must be opened up between user groups.
This should also serve a facility where all the groups can submit,
stock-pile, and disseminate newsletter articles.
 
These groups currently are in isolation utilizing only their own internal
resources (occasionally stumbling onto things on the BBS's). Getting good
articles can be a problem. 
 
Anyone with an account and access to the newsgroup could login and utilize
the articles. A national paper-based user group newsletter could also be
generated from this if someone were to take the initiative and found a way
to make it profitable. 
 
The newsgroup could be called comp.sys.amiga.newsletter or
comp.sys.amiga.usergroups. The original authors will have to include
permission to re-post and re-publish their articles. I don't know much
about starting a newsgroup, who to contact, moderation, etc. Please E-Mail
me with guidance (what's my next step?). Do you think this is worthwhile? I
would be willing to write the charter after looking at some examples and
would certainly be a contributor.
