Excellent summary.  I don't believe net.movies.sw is dead yet,
there has recently been a fair amount of activity.  Unless there's
some pressing need to go hacking groups they instant they take
a breather, I suggest we leave it alone until it stays inactive
for, say, a month or more.

I agree that the interest in drwho seems to be waning, but that
may be merely out of consideration by the drwho fans, waiting
for their own group.

How about a net.news.groups.vote, or something similar, where
people could submit yes/no votes, and when the count reached
some specified value (20 more yes votes than no, say), someone
could create the group.  With a bit of cleverness, this could
be automated.  I realize the name is too long for obsolete
software, but something will have to be done about the 14-char
limit eventually.  Perhaps we could make it net.news.poll?

Clearly we need to develop a standard policy to combat this
anarchy (you can see how short a time I've been on the net:-)

P.S. If there are gatewaying problems with ARPA over net.sflovers,
would it be easier to have net.tv.drwho?
