The reason we go through all this rigamarole before creating another
newsgroup is that keeping this net half-way organized takes a lot of
work.  In order to maintain sanity, everyone using this net needs to
take it upon [him|her]self to follow the "rules of etiqette" agreed
upon by the members at large.

Discussing the pluses and minuses of creating a new group helps keep
un-needed groups from appearing constantly.  It also helps those with
the idea of creating it decide the best place to put it and the best
thing to name it.  This avoids a lot of mistakes.

There currently IS a mechanism for distributing sources.  Post them to
net.micro.amiga since the traffic there is still small enough to
manage.

I posted the original suggestion for a sources group, and have been
collecting all relevant discussion in net.micro.amiga and
net.news.group, for the last couple weeks.  Soon I will post the
results of the discussion and voting.  At that point, either more
discussion will be needed or the group will either be created or not.

Patience!
