If Australian Web Publishers do "resort to" another newsgroup, it may
be due to their ISPs not taking this newsgroup.

Since there is no longer any real need to "subscribe", ie. all the
decisions are in the hands of the user, I suspect this newsgroup is
unused simply because not many web authors use news.

Perhaps further promotion of this newsgroup is a worthwhile project
for the association?

Well its interesting, i was involved in the very very first instigations of
the awpa, when a few ran the logo contest etc..gosh it was a while ago:))

I frankly have no current desire to join as i dont see the full benefits, i
think it needs a rebirth, and i'd be happy to get on board...i dont know,
perhaps its a perception thing..to be honest something as materialistic as
the logo...i wouldnt place it on my page :)

Anyway, back to the point, i think newsgroups are a little unused and that
web forums are easier, so perhaps promotion of such a thing amongst web
developers is a good thing?
