For that matter the gopher group has needed an "announce" group
for a while as well, would be useful to pick that off too;
and an announce for the wais group.
Alternatively there oculd be just
comp.infosystems.announce
My spec for these groups by the way would be to have all articles
posted in a form such that a smart browser could launch you
directly to the resource in question. I know that similar
stuff has been done for the pictures gruops (the auto-unpacker
that someone did); has anyone trained a similar scheme on say
"bit.listserv.hytel-l" (the "hytelnet" free telnet sites announce
group) ?
