</I>I teach at a school board and advise on the IT team committee, on that
committee very few members know what Usenet is all about; none of the
teachers at my elementary school know about Usenet (never heard of it!);
my two sons, one at University 3rd year and the other grade 7, both have
never used Usenet nor can they come up with a single person they know
who use Usenet. I publish an online music magazine and get feeds from
20-30 groups all mailists (deluged with mail) and the couple of music
related Usenet groups may post only 2-3 messages every 3-4 months; I
participate on a couple of developer groups (software) and they do not
use Usenet but mailists; and the list goes on ....
I am also on the Mandriva news group and considering the amount of
people who use Mandriva, very few seem to make use of the group, and in
contrast, the Mandriva forums were pretty active and the official
reps/moderators were at least there to listen and respond. I don't
believe that any Mandriva rep. was ever on the news group or if they
were, they were not too visible.
In my opinion, a usenet group would be a nice perk but could also strain
the Mageia group resources too thin.
