This is a preliminary survey to measure the interest in a new Usenet newsgroup.
There is already a [comp.compilers] newsgroup, yet this one is moderated. Usenet
requires 100 more votes for a new newsgroup than against it, and the proponents
must have a 2/3 majority.

Why? What are the benefits?

It would be the same benefits of the [comp.lang.c++] compared to
[comp.lang.c++.moderated] The former group has about triple the volume of the
latter group because there is no moderation in the former group so every message
is immediately posted. The latter group has benefits too. The industry giants
tend to go to the moderated groups so that they never have to deal with
rudeness.

Before you waste your time barking up the wrong tree, why don't
you spend 5 minutes actually researching the procedure for making
a group and WHERE IT IS APPROPRIATE TO DISCUSS SUCH.

The best place to bring up this discussion would be in the [comp.compilers]
group. The problem with this is that the moderator completely cut off all
communication for even bringing the subject up. If you know of a better place
than this group please suggest it.

How about one of newsgroups with 'newsgroup' in its name? I trust
you can find a decent one among so many.

I have already looked into this. It takes 100 more votes for the group than
against it. This requires reaching people that are interested in compiler
construction, it does not involve reaching people that are interested in
newsgroup creation. It is looking like I would not get the required 100 votes.

Are you sure that annoying people in several groups will attract more 'yes'
than 'not' votes?

"Usenet" requires no such thing. You'll find information about the
current Big-8 group creation process at

http://www.big-8.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=policies:creation

(Big-8 refers to the comp, rec, soc, sci, talk, humanities, news and
misc hierarchies which are all under common management.)

Follow-up set to news.groups where this discussion would be on-topic.
