If I had my say, I like the idea of a mailing list on LDraw.org, which
posts messages automatically to a LUGNET group for convenience. Perhaps
similar to how lugnet.robotics is set up, but where only specific people
have posting privileges?

Aha -- yes, that would work too -- and is extremely easy to set up.

In fact, if you wanted to make it read-only on LUGNET (so that the only way
to post is via the mailing list on ldraw.org), all we need to do is subscribe
an address <something@lugnet.com> to the <ldraw-tech@ldraw.org> mailing list.

we can easily also tell mailman to post each email to the mailing list
to a group on the NNTP server.

Cool.  Hmm, which to choose...  It makes less work for me doing it the
mailing list way, because of the incoming gateway translations at the
e-mail level.  What do we want to call it here?  lugnet.cad.ldraw-tech?
lugnet.cad.ldraw.tech?

I think lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw.tech is long but it fits in with the
existing scheme

Oh, that's a good point.  Yes, it's a bit long, but as Steve points out,
it's a relatively low-interest group.  Putting it as .ldraw.tech instead
of .ldraw-tech also makes it cleaner if other lists (such as, say, Tim's
ldraw-siggraph list) wanted to be mirrored here as well.
