There's a group called alt.hypertext that is having some interesting
discussion about the advantages of on-line (i.e., hypermedia-based)
documentation over paper-based, the conversion process, design, and
so on. That overlaps a lot with my interests, so I thought I'd 
mention it here in case others are interested as well.


And I'll throw in my .02 worth in the Great Name Debate: I think the
current name is okay, but if I were going to suggest a new one, it
would be just plain comp.interactive.  I know it's The Usenet Way to
subdivide a topic even unto the atomic level, but I'd like to see a
group that encompasses interactive-videodisc, CD-I, interactive 
computer-based training, "multimedia," virtual reality... hell, all 
the things that we call "interactive." I agree with the person who
pointed out that there's already a rec.video--video qua video questions
can go there; I'm only interested in it if it's a question about video
in relation to computers (or if it's a posting on the level of Larry's
back there, where he discusses what's the best standard for high-quality
at low price!). I'd like to see this as a group where one would be as
likely to discuss interface design as overlay cards.
