An electronic newsletter was recently announced in some of the sci.*
Usenet newsgroups.  It plans to have summaries from various computer
magazines and journals.  

The editor mentioned that he would try to gateway the list to Usenet
via the bit.* newsgroup and tentatively planned to call the newsgroup
bit.listserv.hott (the list is called hott-list - for Hot Off The
Tree).  Remembering the discussion in bit.admin about having more
meaningful names in the bit.* newsgroups to have a proper hierarchy, I
suggested to him that he consider naming the newsgroup more
meaningfully.  He accepted the idea but asked me to come up with
suggestions.

I couldn't come up with anything really satisfactory.  So I am asking
readers of this group for suggestions.  A brief summary of the list
announcement follows at the end of this article.

I'd appreciate any suggestions.  Please forward your suggestions
directly to me at rbhumbla@ucsd.edu and I'll forward them to the
editor.

Thanks,
Ravi
