The discussion about the creation of the Quake groups will of course be
conducted inside Usenet.  Specifically, a formal Request For Discussion
(RFD) will be posted in all Doom- and Quake-related groups as well as in
news.groups and news.announce.newgroups.  The discussion itself will take
place in news.groups.  This is the usual way to discuss the creation of a
new Usenet group.

But the first thing to do is to decide which groups we need and write
that RFD.  This is the purpose of the mailing list.  By having a first
discussion on a mailing list, we will hopefully come up with a better
RFD than if all preliminary issues had been discussed here.  Furthermore,
this will reduce the off-topic traffic in the Doom newsgroups.

So if you want to help and give your opinions about what should be in the
RFD, please subscribe to the mailing list by sending a message with the
word "subscribe" in the subject or body, to the following address:
quake-propo...@montefiore.ulg.ac.be (you will get a welcome message
with more information, as soon as you are added to the list).
