I was originally thinking of suggesting something in the gnu.* hierarchy,
maybe "gnu.edu" or something like that. However, we would probably end up
with a more active newsgroup if we were a little broader, maybe considering
using the linux.* or comp.* hierarchies and chartering for discussion on
linux and open-source computing in education, rather than restricting it to
100% free software environments. By welcoming folks from proprietary linux
distrobutions as well as those who don't use any non-free software, we could
increase our reader base. I can't think of many discussions we would want to
have that wouldn't apply to the whole group anyhow.
What do you think?
Susan
P.S. -- Maybe it is still too early, maybe not... it seems to me that it's
worth asking around to see if we can drum up some interest. Any other edu-eu
readers want to put in your two cents? Would any of you read it? Would any
of you like to help moderate or maintain a web page or FAQ?
