Why not
         comp.databases.endnote     ???

Newsgroups in the comp.databases.* hierarchy include

         comp.databases.paradox
         comp.databases.sybase
         comp.databases.xbase.fox

         and many others....

This would seem a more appropriate place for a database program to be discussed.
