A user-interface group should be justified on grounds of traffic, not just
interest.  Real traffic, not hypothetical traffic.  Comp.windows.misc is
hardly an ideal place, and comp.cog-eng isn't really right either, but one
of them (the former, I would suggest) will do until traffic picks up.  It
is a mistake to think that creating a group will automatically create the
traffic that is needed to justify a separate newsgroup.  Have you looked
at comp.std.internat lately?
