I think a group about internationalisation would be very useful-- if all this hoohah has done anything, I think it's certainly demonstrated that there is plenty of INITIAL interest. I like the proposal that Mr. Spafford has put forward-- including the name. I think a moderated newsgroup would be more appropriate to a technical discussion to help cut down on redundancy and garbage, something that is particularly important for a group being distributed worldwide; the arguments about moderators destroying a group don't seem to hold a whole lot of water since one can always post gripes about moderator behavior elsewhere. (net.news.group would probably be one place to consider in such a case) It would certainly be awfully nice (and rather surprising) if future arguments about such a group were confined to criticisms of this proposal, and examination of any reasonable alternatives that might be suggested by people.
