Create Internet news group?

[Kenneth R. Brownfield]

[...]
|comp.gis.grass.  It might be best if the news group were moderated,
|then articles could not be posted directly to that news group by the
|general user comunity, only the moderator.
|As it stands now, one must be aware of the grass mailing lists
|before you can subscribe.  
|Network news would have the addditional advantage of advertising
|itself to the general user community. 

     If the newsgroups were moderated, the amount of extraneous unrelated
info could be weeded out from the usual noisy Internet groups, and could
potentially "advertise" the lists.  Posts to the newsgroup from the list
could be automatic, no human intervention.
     Assuming no major changes for my future, I would say that I would have
the time to moderate such a setup.  However, this depends entirely on OGI's
decision.  On the surface this seems like a possibility.  If not for the very
near future.  I may have time for moderation, but setting up the Internet->
GRASS list gateway would probably not fit in my schedule.
