With all the hubbub about the reposting service, it seems that we've missed
a possibility.  Why can't a listing of sources from other groups get posted
in digest format, giving only the critical information?  (Critical information
being: What is it?  Why is it worthwhile?  What is its message ID?)

Something like this, on a weekly basis, could make it easier to find the
sources, while avoiding the network bandwidth being gobbled by the reposts.
