Before Christmas there was some talk of a PC group demo group.  Is
there still any interest?  If there's enough, I'm willing to do the
gruntwork.  There are a couple questions and comments.

Are there enough members of demo groups on Usenet, and would more find
access if such a group appeared?  Most of these guys are in Europe and
Scandinavia, and while we obviously have people posting from there I
don't know how hard it is to get access.  Renaissance has a strong
presence, but I don't know on the rest.

Obvious uses of the group are announcements of new demos, discussions
of new demos (something that's sadly missing, from what I've seen),
information about the demo groups, etc.  Anything else revolutionary
I'm missing?  We need a fairly good RFD.

Would this just be a discussion group, pointing people to ftp sites to
grab the actual demos, or do we need a binaries group as well?  We
can't post the huge binaries for these demos on the discussion group.
Would an "alt.binaries" group be sufficient for the binaries?  We
already have an "official" ftp site.

How do we make sure this is not seen as a general software demo group,
so we don't get posts about a demo version of Ultima Underworld or
Borland C, etc.?

If the demos group is primarily discussion driven, it should probably
be "comp.sys.ibm.pc.xxx" (where xxx is the name of the group).  The
alt group (if needed) would be "alt.binaries.xxx".  If this is going
to be binaries driven it needs to be "comp.binaries.ibm.pc.xxx" and
"comp.binaries.ibm.pc.xxx.d".

Let's talk!  Can someone get in contact with members from some of the
groups who don't have Usenet access?
