having some sort of forwarding mechanism from the old legos group to the new
brickos newsgroup IMHO would be the best solution for old and new customers :)
old users, use the new brickos newsgroup, new users, who still think
its called legos, gets forwarded to our new group and
appropriate action can be taken to inform them of the name/newsgroup change:)

I believe there are, or at least were, some technical problems around just
changing the name of a group. So perhaps having the old name group stick
around is the better approach.

That group could even be locked for posting, perhaps, (with some work) so
that users learned of the new group when they tried to post.

XFUT admin.general, the admins will know better than I what's doable.

Last time I talked to Todd about this, it was in ref to the .publish.cinema
group becomming .animation. He had a plan for trying out with that group first,
before moving a .robotics group up in the hierarchy (a bigger move).

I'd imagine all suggestions are still welcome.

btw, .cad.dat currently has its new name only in text heading on web interface.

(...) As (...) I would prefer to see a single newsgroup for several reasons. brickOS is a morphing or molting from legOS if you will not a diverging or evolutionary different creation (i.e. it is only a name change). brickOS and legOS are the same (...)
