What about a comp.databases.postgresql usenet newsgroup ???

From

Hello,

Seems to me that the nntp server news.postgresql.org is down again...
:-(

I'm wondering why PostgreSQL don't have its own newsgroup in the
comp.databases.* usenet hierarchy ? I think that may be interesting
since lot of PostgreSQL users are unaware about the existence of
news.postgresql.org (when this server work), and are looking for a
comp.databases.postgresql usenet newsgroup.

What are your opinions about that ?

Cheers,

all the lists are gatewayed to a comp.databases.postgresql.* newsgroup ...

What is the 'status' of DB_USER_NAMESPACE?

Is it still a temporary measure and is it safe to rely on it?

It was supposed to be humor.  Guess it wasn't.

It was. (All evolutionary improvements must be
submitted back to gnu/pride. Backporting's going to be
a bi***.)

I hadn't seen anyone list the url.  Not being a
newslist user, I'm still unsure of what gmane really
means.
