Re: Why doesn't the lua list get replaced with a forum ?

[Mike Kreuzer <mike@...>]

There seems little point to me in creating a usenet group in addition to 
this list, what I was proposing was creating the newsgroup & scrapping 
the list.  I for one find the list format inconvenient in the extreme, I 
guess what I'm asking is who else agrees?

The mechanics of setting up a usenet group are outlined on one page at: 
http://www.big-8.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=policies:creation
It's pretty straightforward really.

This disconnected set of emails constitutes the start of step 1, 
informal discussion.  What I'm proposing is an unmoderated group with 
the name comp.lang.lua

Jumping ahead for a moment, we've already got the hardest part of step 2 
(the RFD, the request for discussion) done, we've got the traffic 
analysis at http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/  The rationale & the 
charter are the same as for this list (& if we don't have a written one, 
well I'm sure we can manage to get something together).
