scrolling through some lists on ftp.isc.org/usenet I wondered what
happened to comp.infosystems.hypertext ? did it exist?
Pasted below is its RFD from 1992. I could not find anything further atm.
As per groupsearch.alt-config.net the group is not carried at this time.
Further I can also subscribe to the seemingly empty
comp.text.desktop Technology & techniques of desktop publishing.
Here I wonder about some of those old control/rmgroup messages I found in:
ftp://ftp.isc.org/usenet/control/comp/comp.text.desktop.gz

I can't find any evidence it was created. There was an RFD, as you say,
but it doesn't look like the process got any further than that - I can't
find any voting or results, or any control messages to create the group.
A thread from 1994 in comp.infosystems.www contains another tentative suggestion of "comp.infosystems.hypertext" as a potential group, which
again implies that the original proposal never went anywhere: groups.google.com/g/comp.infosystems.www/c/v7T8bNNjhVI/m/8QgPKm8JOOQJ
Are you trying to find a group that definitely existed at some point, possibly with a similar name? The comp.infosystems.www.* groups and alt.hypertext are the closest matches I'm aware of.
Further I can also subscribe to the seemingly empty comp.text.desktop
Yes, comp.text.desktop once existed, but it appears to have been removed
in 2011 due to inactivity (along with a considerable number of other
inactive groups).
Regarding the current RFD for comp.infosystems.gemini, an existing
hypertext group could have been an alternative, I guess.
Thanks
