I also agree that it would be better to start off with a fewer number of
newsgroups and then develop additional ones as required.

This is really a fascinating concept.  However, it seems like some 
administrative tools might be helpful.  For instance, it would be helpful
to know what topics people are interested in learning about.  Also, it would
be helpful to know who is out there willing to teach on what subjects.

I would be happy to help develop some sort of information base with the
required information.  Unfortunately, I am not technical and would need
assistance in setting up some sort of application, but would be happy to
maintain the data once something was set up.

I'm sure this would be an on-going project as information needs will 
change as the UU grows.


Has anyone thought about accreditation and the like? :-)
