Any thoughts on carrying feeds of that traffic into their respective LUGNET
newsgroups? I’m not sure why those folks went their own way, but I respect
it. However, in keeping with LUGNET’s purpose, there’s a lot to say for
centralization of the viewability of, or consciousness of, AFOL activity. I
think it’d be nice to cross-communicate - even if it’s just to allow
newcomers to see the outside traffic volume and a synopsis of that group’s
purpose/characteristics (assuming the outside groups didn’t want posts to
come from LUGNET).

A couple of issues come to mind.
First, some of these LUGNET-expatriate groups allow behavior not in-line with
LUGNET’s ToS. So pulling their traffic into LUGNET would result in LUGNET
hosting posts that might violate ToS.
Second, the existing examples of external feeds - the robotics mailing list and
(previously) the L-CAD mailing list - allowed bi-directional feeds. Would that
be a goal for this new breed of feeds? Another reason groups split off from
LUGNET was to avoid the LUGNET-driven noise that was occurring.

And perhaps individual groups, like robotics, have (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
