Well, here is my latest list of topics under consideration. It seems like
it was well received, and as long as we are considering a number of them
simultaneously, I'll try to update it every so often.

Previous topics now considered dead:

net.eulogy, net.nlang.*

Topics created:

net.games.go, net.tv.drwho

Topics under discussion:

net.sources.pc
    I've gotten some good feedback on this, and it is probably a good idea
    to split up unix and non-unix sources. Would net.sources.micro be a
    better idea?

net.bio.*
    There is still a BIG disagreement over net.bio.expert. Since
    net.astro.expert is still highly experimental, I would suggest creating
    net.bio and holding off on net.bio.expert until the astro combination
    proves (or disproves) its efficacy. It looks like net.bio should be
    created.

net.micro.trs
    Someone still needs to create this group. I won't because its not
    within my sphere of interests.

net.origins
    Discussion is still very mixed here, and seems to be runing 50-50. If
    we assume the creation of net.bio, does it handle the areas of origins
    that other existing topics don't?

net.people
    I think a better name would be net.news.people, because we are talking
    about people configuration the way net.news.config talks about
    machines. However, it may be that net.general is appropriate as well,
    because I expect that volume will be reasonably low, and there will
    probably be a number of people who unsubscribe to net.*people that you
    might need to contact. Comments?


New topics under discussion:

net.olympics:
    It seems to me the net.sports would be appropriate (and perhaps
    net.travel for accomodations, and net.tv for ABC coverage). I would
    really like to see some message volume before we create YAUT (Yet
    Another Usenet Topic).
