Hello Stas!

As you may know, in addition to regular Groups, Telegram has  
something they call Channels. My understanding is that Channels  
operate like broadcasters or a news annoucement medium.

I *did* have a channel set up near the beginning of this  
project. I called it "Fidonet START HERE". The idea was to have  
a READ ONLY area and use it to broadcast updates to new echos  
being added and about the general progress and updates of the  
f2t bot.

But I lost the channel when I lost access to Telegram due to an  
annoying glitch.  The folks at Telegram recovered my account,  
and most of the groups/echos that I was admin of, but the  
Fidonet START HERE channel was lost.

Anyway.. a channel to broadcast updates/changes/news to the  
Fidonet-Telegram project for folks residing on the Telegram side  
could be useful.

But, since we have the FIDONET.TELEGRAM echo now, that might be  
good enough.
