Thread: News group
Hi all, I'm seeing that the Postgresql NG are missing some list ( the WWW for example ) and I see also the other way around ( comp.database.postgresql.projects.slony1 ). Also news.us.postgresql.org have more NG then news.fr.postgresql.org. Someone is also starting to use some mailing list web based, don't you think that spread informations in this way is dispersive ?

Ya, -www should be added, and slony should be removed, since its not a pgsql-* list, but a gborg one ... ---- Marc G.

I was refering to a proposal of Josh Berkus to use the Forums on pgfoundry in order to coordinate the translators efforts. I did't even know the existence of forum.postgresql.org; if you take as example forum.postgresql.org I see pgsql-www that is not present on news.fr.postgresql.org and I see also the existence of comp.database.postgresql.projects.slony1 on news.us.postgresql.org that is not on news.fr.postgresql.org and neither on that web forum. I really think that this in an area that deserve improvements.

I don't really want to get dragged into the whole newsgroup
flame-fest, but if you think that it needs improvement, the best way
to get that improvement is either to get comp.* groups through a CFV
and included properly in the hierarchy (in which case propogation
shouldn't be an issed), or use the alt.* hierarchy (ditto). I'm
getting a little annoyed that a community which prides itself on
cleaving to the SQL standards is being so completely cavalier about
the conventions of another important Net community (Usenet).
