My point about Google was to point you to an archived copy of the
"Welcome to can.config" frequent posting, to show that there indeed
is a process in place to create groups in can.*: propose the group in
can.config, then work with the news admins who will try to help you shape
the proposal into something that will stand as a newsgroup for as long
as netnews is a viable service.

It's certainly looking that way.  I've written to him to offer to take
over maintenance and frequent posting of "Welcome to can.config".  I
still haven't received a response, but I'm interested in knowing wether
other Canadian news admins would be interested in my doing so.
