THERE ARE NO RFDS FOR ALT.* NEWSGROUP.
In other words, you can post in alt.config for feedback on your charter
but you only need to submit a newgroup control file to create an alt.*
or a free.* newsgroup.
http://www.nylon.net/alt/ looks like a good tutorial for creating alt.* newsgroups. Tim Skirvin's "Free FAQ" will tell you everything about
creating a free.* newsgroup. http://wiki.killfile.org/projects/usenet/faqs/free/
If you want to create a newsgroup in the big-8 hierarchies (net,comp,talk,soc,sci,humanities,news,misc), then you're in the right
place. Maybe misc.solarpunk, or talk.solarpunk are possible choices for
you?
The big thing that we ask for Big-8 newsgroups is that there is already
a community that is willing to use it instead of the "build it and they
will come" philosphy.

Jason, it shouldn't be named at the second level.

I think this deserves further discussion.
I thought about proposing soc.culture.solarpunk but most soc.culture.*
groups are specific to an ethnicity or country but there's no hard rule >saying that it can't also be an online community.
rec.communities.solarpunk, misc.online.solarpunk, talk.online.solarpunk, and >others are also possible. None of these first-level hierarchies have any 2nd >level hierarchies that would really fit well right now. Not to mention, the >comp, sci, humanities, and news hierarchies don't seem to work at all for >something like this.
Our next Big-8 meeting is on Friday. We'll discuss then what can be done for >second and third level hierarchies.
Please post any positive suggestions you might have.
