[Zope] Could we migrate Zope email to a news group?

oh - guess I live a sheltered life.  Here inside SGI,
usenet news group are very reliable.

ah - then how about we have a dedicated server, just for
the zope group, but keep it in the usenet hierarchy, so
that some other portion of the universe (apparently not
including yourself ') that has reliable usenet feeds will
gain greater and more convenient access to that same group.

This could include the "dual news/list solution" that I see
Alexander Staubo suggesting in another response.  I'm fine
with such, so long as someone else does the work.  Such dual
solutions are certainly _heavily_ used inside SGI, where I work.

Ah -- there's a key point.

My going off and getting a comp.*.zope accepted would be a
useless waste of time (or worse - some sort of information
pollution) unless the Zope masters (likely starting with someone
from Digital Creations, such as Paul Everitt, Michel Pelletier,
Jim Fulton, Brian Lloyd, Rob Page or Ken Manheimer, based on
how often I see their names in my email archive) backs this,
and a Zope community concensus forms to motivate the shift from
the email list to the news group for most activity.

Otherwise, I'm just pissing in the wind.

(And not "comp.sys.zope", I hope.  "comp.sys" seems to be for
computer system (sw+hw) vendors, not web server software).
