In order to be archived on Dejanews, I believe it would have to be distributed along with the rest of USENET. The problem with this is that it opens the forum up to spamming, off-topic threads, and all sorts of other junk. If there was a comp.infosystems.zope, or what have you, the volume would probably rise tenfold overnight, with most of it being completely irrelevant.
I think the better approach is a semi-private "zope" hierarchy read from a specific server, much like microsoft.*, netscape.public.*, pilot.*, symantec.*, borland.*, autodesk.*, etc, etc.
DejaNews archives the borland.* hierarchy, too. I'll bet we could get them to pick up zope.* with a little judicious whining, along with a complementary copy of the "client-server edition" of Zope. -- ========================================================= Tres Seaver tseaver@palladion.com 713-523-6582 Palladion Software http://www.palladion.com
