I would love to see people post "PostScript" art/programs.  Maybe a new group
could be formed, comp.sources.postscipt or something similar.

Perhaps a more appropriate groups would be comp.examples.postscript?  I
know that I find it a lot easier to do things, once I have seen how
others do them.  Any thoughts?  Anyone want to take the "ball" and run
with it?

I like that!  I have some artwork to contribute if the group gets set up.
I'm not an expert at Usenet so I don't think I'd be able to manage it.

It doesn't seem to be necessary to create a new group for postscript
examples, etc when the volume in this group is low.

Do you expect more traffic just by creating *another* newsgroup?  Is there
a problem with just using *this* group?

Just wondering.

There is no need to set up another newsgroup.
Just put the PostScript artwork in this group.
If the volume becomes unmanageable THEN maybe a new group could be formed.

     A new group would be fine, but it should be clearly named as
a subheading of postscript.  I think a better name would be

     	  comp.lang.postscript.examples

Or perhaps comp.lang.postscript.examples?

Once upon a time, PostScript examples were frequent on comp.lang.postscript
Normal rules for newsgroup creation ask that significant traffic be
demonstrated first.  This is hardly the case now.  So just post the
code in this newsgroup...

Why not just use this group?  I mean, traffic might be high at first,
but it should taper off soon.

Or maybe just comp.lang.postscript?

If as many people posted postscript examples as suggestions for new newsgroups,
maybe we would have the volume necessary for another newsgroup.

I'm fairly new to postscript I'd rather see code than new groups.
