Another possibility is to do the above but also remove the ".build." from
the names (to keep them simpler), and make "build.general" into
"lugnet.build":
lugnet.admin.database
lugnet.admin.general
lugnet.admin.statistics
lugnet.announce
lugnet.build
lugnet.cad
lugnet.dear-lego
lugnet.starwars
lugnet.general
lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos
lugnet.loc.us.mn.msp
lugnet.market.auction
lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade
lugnet.off-topic.debate
lugnet.off-topic.fun
lugnet.publish
lugnet.reviews
lugnet.robotics
lugnet.storage
lugnet.test
lugnet.trains
Thus the mapping from the current ng list to the list above would be:
lugnet.admin.database -> lugnet.admin.database
lugnet.general -> lugnet.admin.general
lugnet.adming.statistics -> lugnet.admin.statistics
announce -> lugnet.announce
build.general -> lugnet.build
build.cad -> lugnet.cad
lego.dear-lego -> lugnet.dear-lego
lego.general -> lugnet.general
loc.us.ma.bos -> lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos
loc.us.mn.msp -> lugnet.loc.us.mn.msp
market.auction -> lugnet.market.auction
market.buy-sell-trade -> lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade
off-topic.debate -> lugnet.off-topic.debate
off-topic.fun -> lugnet.off-topic.fun
build.publish -> lugnet.publish
build.reviews -> lugnet.reviews
build.robotics -> lugnet.robotics
lego.fan.starwars -> lugnet.starwars
build.storage -> lugnet.storage
lugnet.test-temporary -> lugnet.test
build.trains -> lugnet.trains
I almost hate to consider a sweeping change like this, but it's probably
wise to do so, and it might just be for the best long-term.
Your comments/opinions?

| It seems there are subtle issues with the current naming scheme for groups... Some people using advanced filtering/integration software and/or special gateways are running into problems because the groups don't all exist under a single hierarchy (...)
