Starting a Newsgroup
New newsgroups
can only be formed through a formal voting process (except
for alt groups). In order to begin a new group, you must go
through a set process.
-
Post
a formal Request for Discussion (RFD) to news.announce.newgroup
and any other newsgroups related to the topic.
-
Interested people will discuss
the name of the group, where it should go in the hierarchy,
and whether your group is really necessary. If there is no agreement
on these issues at the end of 30 days, the discussion goes to
e-mail. Then the idea may eventually be abandoned, or the participant
may come back with a new proposal and make a new Request for
Discussion.
