     Well Michael, unfortunately I am one of those individuals who care only
to use Google as search engine.
     I do use Usenet Newsgroups but it seems few people know how to
access these groups which in the case of Linux is really a departure from
its roots.
     But we could try to propagate an alt.ug.linux.sf-lug  or we could 
simply
pick a newsgroup like alt.os.linux.mandriva and use it.   There are Linux
newsgroups by the way where your query as to p/o of source code
would be welcome and elicit many replies.

     I suggest the group mentioned above because i am already subscribed 
to it and
because since the collapse of the Mandriva company in France it has been 
largely
empty with only a few posts about arcane Mandriva programs and what OS
to use when Mandriva is too far behind the curve.

     If anyone wants help in setting up a news.server account  bring it 
to this
list and I will do my best as I certainly have made enough mistakes to
know what can go wrong.   The server I use is eternal-september,
properly designated news.eternal-september.org and it is a free text
only server.  If you want a binary group server you most likely will
have to pay.
