Apart from .l-cad being a legacy thing, both CAD and LEGO are there twice in
the full expansion of lugnet.cad.l-cad:
l u g net . cad . l - cad

LEGO Users Group Network CAD LEGO CAD
So maybe it's a little bit redundant. :)

Although the ng name would be too long, wouldn't .programing be a child of
development? Programming is always development (hopefully :), but development
isn't always programming.
What are all the types of "development" thingies talked about and decided on in
L-CAD? Parts, programming, testing parts, testing code, feedback, . . . other?
Here are some more random mostly-overlapping ideas -- just ideas:

There are at least a couple (err, three?) ways to do it --
1. Put them in straight into the archives but not into the newsgroup (in other
words, into the newsgroup, but pre-expired).
2. Put them in as regular articles as soon as the group is created and let
them go out to everyone via e-mail (probably a very bad idea :-).
3. Put them in as regular articles as soon as the group is created, but make
sure not to e-mail them to people subscribed to the group via e-mail.
