In February 2014 we took a stab at a charter. It's here, if anyone would like to read, modify, or discuss: http://compmisc.wikia.com/wiki/Comp.misc_newsgroup_Wiki I am trying to post comp related things here. Non-comp stuff was mostly going to misc.news.internet.discuss (astronomy, biology, physics, social media, gaming). But that newsgroup is much lower volume and increasingly I'm just not posting that kind of stuff. I'm crossposting to relevant other groups where it seems that's helpful, and hopefully that leads people to other NGs as well. I use the newsbeuter RSS reader plus a small, custom bash script to post articles from an RSS feed to this newsgroup. You can find it at the wiki if you're interested. The script handles posting to either comp.misc or misc.news.internet.discuss, adds [CM] to any article cross posted to another group, and sets the followup to that group when cross posting. Thanks to everyone for all the great content and discussion on this newsgroup!
