Hi *,
I apologize maybe i already made a mistake, Italian usenet user's after
my invitation ask me to create a new hierarchy: usenet.*.
So I sent the control message to create the group
usenet.discussion.ai.general, but I was contacted for information and
clarifications about this possibly maybe not appreciate action.
I'am here to request a voting about the creation of hierarchy usenet.*

 
It is beyond absurd to name any newsgroups into a top-level hierarchy
called usenet.*. Please rethink this.
 
There is no voting. Anybody can declare himself hierarchy administrator,
which is what you've done by sending newgroup messages, but just because
you can doesn't mean you should.
 

I also apologize if we got something wrong conceptually. Our idea
 was to create a "celebratory" hierarchy to relaunch the use of
 usenet in Italy. Many newsgroups in the "It.* " hierarchy are
 practically empty, in the sense that there are no more people
 posting.
 So I proposed to Corrado Roberto the launch of the "Usenet.*"
 hierarchy with a few newsgroups dedicated to topics of particular
 interest, or to users particularly active in the Italian
 community who write many posts and make the Italian , "surviving"
 community lively.
The hierarchy, to be created, also wanted to try to go beyond the
 Italian one, and include non-Italian users as well, this with the
 clear purpose of revitalizing an increasingly small
 community.
So we thought a celebratory and inclusive name, and it seemed like
 a good idea to launch a hierarchy called "Usenet.*"

is not better to actually start getting some of the it. newsgroup active
and make a list of "active" groups and post those all around the
internet where possible users go? we are doing this with es.*
we did create a small internal hearchy hispagatos.* but this is mainly
only in our server for our users and some friendly nodes with people who
likes to particupate but our focus is to revive es.* and some regular
alt.* and comp.lang.* etc since they are already there I create a list
and post it on mastodon/fediverse gemini/gopher/matrix etc etc and this
way we have captive around 100-200 people (not much but considering it
was 0 is something)

just thinking out loud..

Happy Hacking
