This email list is fine. We don't need a usenet list. That will onlyserve to fracture the community further. It is hard enough for me to useemail the ways that these lists want. Adding a whole new protocol that Ihave no idea how to use is enough overhead that it will cause me to loseinterest in this project at all.
Do what you want, but be aware that fracturing the community is onlyever a bad thing.

Hello!
I'm interested in Gemini and discussed it on IRC when it was in its much
earlier stages. I have few things to do before setting it up for myself
(hardware issues).

I've been asking around and collecting recommendations for Usenet
servers, but I've still got a long way to go for my project[1], which I
think fits the spirit of Gemini. Can anybody who is able please send me
their recommendations for good Usenet services?
I'm interested in discussion groups, source code groups, and the like.
(Basically everything except binary groups.)
DejaNews was a good service and Google Groups is OK. It's unfortunate
they don't have an NNTP interface. On the other hand it's fantastic
when I want to find a thread I remember from a long time ago.
Kind regards,
Andrew
[1] My project is that I'm assembling an archive of Usenet to host it
publicly as a free (libre friendly) service. In particular I'm missing
a few years in the 1990's, which ironically just so happen to be the
years I was most active. Usenet is a treasure trove for history and
education. For example, reading comp.lang.c while I was an
undergraduate student was critical in my understanding of the finer
points of the language.
Although it's extremely unlikely that anybody has a Usenet service back
that far, I nevertheless want to do some quality control on my archives
and keep up to date with new Usenet activity.
Coincidentally I'm also looking for a (professional) email service
provider as mine shutting down at the end of this year, which is
unfortunate because they have been perfect. I've seen lists of trusted
providers in the past but I haven't been able to find them. If anybody
has recommendations then please let me know. A service that uses Cyrus
would be particularly good.
