- I suggest the name "shareware.*" which, though it's rather long,
- leaves no question about the purpose of the heirarchy, and also allows,
- since it's a new tree, us to organize things like:
-
- shareware.sources.unix
- shareware.sources.msdos
[ stuff deleted ]
- What do people think? Can we hack out some reasonable set of groups
- and then make an intelligent, rational, and acceptable proposal to
- 'news.groups' requesting the new heirarchy?? Remember we do have the
- prior examples of the "gnu", "biz" and "alt" heirarchies too...
Aha! Since shareware is a money-making proposition (at least in
theory), it seems clear that the hierarchy Dave proposes should be
under "biz". biz is an existing hierarchy for for-profit-oriented
postings.
