I would be very interested in a HyperCard newsgroup.  I agree that it should
be unmoderated, at least at first.  We've done very well in the Mac group
but traffic is getting so heavy that we probably should split it into 
several smaller groups.  Perhaps it ought to be one group for HyperCard, one
for other software, another for hardware, and another for crazy rumors (:-) on
the last one only!).  

On a related note:

Scholastech, the group for which I run the machine on which I receive news, is
a non-profit group dedicated to providing low cost computing resources for
higher education.  We are developing stackware for distribution to the college
and university market.  If you have a stack and aren't looking for gobs of
money (we've got to keep prices < $30) and that stack has its primary market
in higher ed, consider using us as a distribution medium.  Our catalog, both
public domain and stackware, is going to be distributed as a stack!  We have
a federal grant to help us distribute PD software and will be pegging the
stackware onto that publicity campaign.  We'll be reaching a very wide
audience.   If interested, send me mail.
