Re: newsgroup creation RFD - draft
If you think about it, c.o.l is really a misnomer. Linux is not really
the operating system. Debian is the operating system. Linux is just a
kernel, that many operating systems have based themselves on because it's
freely available and it has a lot of support on the net.
In that light, putting the debian.* groups after c.o.l would make lots of
sense.
However, I have thought of something that has bothered me ever since I
first proposed this idea a few weeks ago. I remember reading in one of
the groups that someone hoped that the c.o.l groups would never start
splitting into distribution based areas, because it would fragmant the
groups. I don't know if this is still the widely held belief, but it
could be, and I do see where that person came from.
