For those here who are involved in Product Development,
I would like to invite you to try out the newsgroup that
I moderate: misc.business.product-dev -- a Usenet newsgroup
about the Business of Product Development.
The group has been pretty much unused for a long time, but
could become viable if I can attract a critical mass of
users.
Right now I am screening posts to avoid spam, and setting
the software to auto-approve any further posts by that user.
This avoids posting delays after the user's first post.
If I can attract enough users to see the volume pick up,
I will be looking for co-moderators. I have a simple
web-based system that makes it easy to reject/approve
posts.
There will be little or no rejection because of content;
I just want to keep the newsgroup flooders and spammers
out, and let people use their killfiles if they don't
like what someone posts.
Also, unlike many other moderated newsgroups, I allow
crossposts to one unmoderated newsgroup, so you can post
something that is about FORTH and Product Development
in comp.lang.forth and misc.business.product-dev if
you wish.
Alas, I can't allow crossposts to moderated newsgroups
because such posts get approved for both newsgroups
when one moderator approves them, which would be rude
to the other moderator.
