Steve/Kevin,
I'd forgotten all about this! (The messages above are from 11 months ago,
and in the meantime, Kevin has been using the .publish group as the next
best thing.) Since the ng hierarchy has stablized much more now since last
October and Kevin has just moved his scan to brand new LEGO-related domain
name (brickshelf.com), this seems like a great time to go ahead and make the
group.
If it were a group where Kevin could post notifications about updates to
his scans site, then it would fit in very nicely in the .announce hierarchy
as something like
.announce.scans
or
.announce.brickshelf
Or, if, as Kevin suggested in a followup, it were a more interactive place
where people could request scans and also where Kevin could post a list of
recent additions, then it would fit in very nicely in the .db hierarchy as
.db.scans
Or, we could even create *both* a .db.scans group (for everyone) and an
.announce.scans or .announce.brickshelf (for Kevin, and readers), whereby
Kevin could do this in his postings:
Newsgroups: lugnet.announce.brickshelf,lugnet.db.scans
Followup-To: lugnet.db.scans
and people who wanted to hear only about updates could subscribe to the
.announce group and ignore the .db group.

| .announce.brickshelf makes sense since the updates are essentially broadcasts and not really interactive. I was going to suggest publish.scans instead of db.scans, but publish.scans implies discussions about any type of scans while db.scans implies (...) (25 years ago, 1-Sep-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
