[Followups directed to the sbay.news.group newsgroup.]

At the Nov 18, 2000 sbay.org pizza meeting, discussion was started on the
subject of adding new newsgroups to the sbay.* hierarchy.  The discussion
started with...

* Add sbay.networking - networking technical projects and development
  This would be for discussion of networking projects in the South Bay,
  including hobby, research or commercial projects.  Specifically, this
  will be the location where sbay.org's SBAY Wireless Network and
  newly-formed SBAY IPv6 Project will post news and periodical info,
  and where questions about them should be directed.
* Remove sbay.waffle
  There is no longer any discussion of Waffle BBS installations, and
  probably no installations left.

It isn't too late to suggest other new newsgroups.  This decison will
probably be finalized by sbay.org participants at the December 16, 2000
meeting.  A list of the current sbay newsgrous is at http://www.sbay.org/

Note that the sbay newsgroups cover the South Bay Area, which is a
geographical subset of the region covered by the ba.* newsgroups.
Overlapping newsgroup topics should be avoided unless there's a reason
that a South Bay subset is needed.  In particular, don't even bother
suggesting a jobs newsgroup, since ba.jobs.* has already been a huge
burden over the years for the volunteers who have attempted to keep
it running and prevent spammers from driving away all the readers.
Our newsgroup maintenance volunteers simply won't accept the task.
