Message-ID: Date: 7 Jun 89 19:48:57 GMT Sender: usenet@rpi.edu Reply-To: tale@pawl.rpi.edu Followup-To: gnu.config Distribution: gnu Lines: 17 I don't really know what to name it, but can we get a non-tech group into the gnu hierarchy which would be suitable for general discussion about the FSF and the GNU Project? I am afraid we might soon be scaring away people from gnu.gcc who would otherwise participate in a technical discussion. The issues being discussed certainly are important and should be discussed, but it really isn't appropriate in gnu.gcc. Looking at it from the mailing-list side, a bi-directional gateway with gnu-politics@ai.mit.edu would include non-Usenet participants (like RMS). Is anyone else in favour of this, whatever the name might be?
