OK, I can't write long again (sorry) but I have some basic thoughts for this
'guide'. (All my opinions, I'm using should but it's not meant to force
anything.)
-The guide should be written in a friendly, one-on-one sorta tone. Not that
the formal tone Todd uses is bad, it's required and fits some documents that a
user must agree to... just that it's somewhat less friendly than what lugnet
is. After reading a friendly guide, one might be more inclined to read formal
stuff, and more enthusiastic, etc.
-It should give pointers and short explainations about:
what lugnet is all about
what newsgroups are meant for what
what is allowed (and what's not)
-It should make it clear, (in a nice way :) that:
everything basic is free, fees are nominal
private information will not be given to third parties
lugnet is a family NG
-It should have references to:
setup for posting
lugnet long-term plan
FAQ newsgroup
The most updated acronym list and term list at the time (right now
I think it's my Acro list and Frank Buiting's (sp?) term list that he's
working on).
These are just some starter ideas, I have an in-my-head rough draft that I
don't have time to write up now. But once I do have a free second, I'll be
glad to be involved in this.
Please LMKWYT,
-Shiri

| Todd, Suz, et al Lugnet can be rather intimidating, IMO, to newcomers due to its massive size and scope. The Pause database aside, the news portion of Lugnet is growing every day by 400 messages or so and can leave new arrivals here with a sense of (...)
