Options 2 and 3 are less repugnent.  Personally, I vote for a seperate software
system with more of a hypertext bent and operating off of courseware
archives.

The number of articles you see is deceptive.  This is due, in part, to the
fact that a number of alt groups were "cancelled" via cancel request, and
alt.uu.future was one of them.  I do not know how big the intervening gap
was before alt.uu.future was reestablished, but I can tell you that the
current heirarchy locally contains 115 articles from after the group was
reestablished and over 130 from before.  This gives a total volume of 245
articles, and, I suspect, a number of intervening articles that were not
accounted for in this total.
