Agreed - it shouldn't be a problem since several of the Big8 Usenet
groups are bidirectionally gatewayed to mailing lists. I don't see
any advantage to a private newsgroup though; I think this project
warrants discussion in a group of its own in the comp hierarchy. A
presence in the Big8 would advertise the project's existence very
effectively, and probably bring in a lot of useful people.
