: REC.MUSEUMS for MUSEUM-L ?
: John!?!!? No way! Surely, you jest? I believe that the newsgroups need a
: new high-level category, probably called "acad" (for academic)

Hey, here's an idea, let's call the new high-level category 'bit'
(stands for nothing in particular; already propogates to roughly
the right set of people) and just pick reasonable names there.

bit.museum.admin	MUSEUM-L gateway
bit.museum.art		Art museums (ideal for announcing web stuff)
bit.museum.history	History museums (get some good reference sources)
bit.museum.science	Science museums (like the Exploratorium!)
bit.museum.preservation Making sure that next year's visitors have something
bit.museum.jobs		Positions available and wanted

I would be that you could get reasonable traffic with a minimum of
cross-talk and noise and have a perfectly sensible place to add new
groups without the !@#$% that is "mainstream usenet".
