I will forward any discussion in news.groups. So far there hasn't been any.
None at all. Between flaming about rec.music.christian, rec.music.funky,
rec.music.rap, rec.music.reviews, rec.music.noise, rec.music.pop-rocks,
misc.activism.commie/fascist, and rec.sport.frisbee.tm.whammo.corp, nobody
has any time for us.

Looks like that's what's happening anyway. The invisible hand or something.
I'll put out a vote for comp.os.minix.something mid-april. I still prefer
the name ".sources" to ".code", since they *are* synonyms and "sources"
is the traditional name. Previous groups that have departed from this
tradition haven't fared well (see, frex, alt.source-code). The overwhelming
preference seems to be for an unmoderated subgroup in any case...
