I agree, and you also will have a nice convenient mailing list that way too
as a byproduct.
Possibilities for the newsgroup name:
Newsgroup name: Shows on webpage link as:
============================ =============================
lugnet.cad.org ldraw.org
lugnet.cad.ldraw-org ldraw.org
lugnet.cad.ldraw.org ldraw.org
lugnet.cad.dev.org ldraw.org
lugnet.cad.dev.ldraw.org ldraw.org
lugnet.cad.dev.ldraw-org ldraw.org
Notes:
1) The forms *.ldraw.org only make sense if there is a whole *.ldraw
hierarchy, which there is in the virtual sense...
http://www.lugnet.com/cad/ldraw/
(for links and other organizational purposes) but there is not a
*.ldraw hierarchy in the newsgroup sense.
2) The forms *.ldraw-org are better semantically but not as good
syntactically.
3) It is good to keep in mind support for other .org groups/clubs/LUGs
which exist now or which may pop up in the future. Examples:
baylug.org SF-Bay Area LEGO Users Group
pnltc.org Pacific Northwest LEGO Train Club
gmltc.org Greater Midwest LEGO Train Club
So a naming structure forward compatible with more things like these
would be good. In other words, it doesn't make sense for there to be
a lugnet.trains.org group because there are two large train clubs.
On the other hand -- and maybe here is the answer -- the order should
simply be reversed, i.e.
lugnet.trains.org
for general trains-organization stuff and
lugnet.trains.org.pnltc
lugnet.trains.org.gmltc
for more group-specific stuff.
Similarly,
lugnet.cad.org.ldraw
makes perfect sense to me.
