any eta on this? thanks, Vishy
Vichy,

maybe you are not aware of bug 62228 (the tracking bug for a complete
reorganization of the Mozilla news hierarchy). The old netscape.public.mozilla.*
newsgroups are going away.
The new structure has been discussed on n.p.m.general some time ago, and the
latest proposal has been stable for some months now. It can be found at
http://www.mozilla.org.uk/newsgroups.txt
In the new structure, there is already a newsgroup mozilla.dev.apps.browser
which would be suitable for the discussions you mention above. In Gerv's doc it
says that this is a replacement for n.p.m.seamonkey, but I would agree with you
that seamonkey has a different purpose, namely discussing general important
project issues. So maybe we need a new newsgroup in the new scheme to replace
n.p.m.seamonkey.
s/Vichy/Vishy/ , sorry.
I understand about the new hierarchy. But we need this newsgroup now, before the
reorg, since its not yet clear when the reorg is going to happen. 
Vishy: there are several other bugs about creation of new newsgroups. Bug 57323, 
 bug 59522, bug 69699 and the recently "INVALID because we've found other 
methods of communicating because you guys took so long" bug 58670. Some of these 
have been waiting for months, and all are equally urgent as n.p.m.browser . 

If you have some influence with AOL IT support, we would be very grateful if 
you'd use it to make the reorg happen. Last I heard, the server is apparently 
there, it just needs setting up. The spam and noise levels in the old groups are 
getting ridiculous.

However, if you do manage to persuade someone to create this group in the old 
hierarchy, perhaps you could ask them to create all the above ones while they 
are there?

Depends on: 62228
We have help on the way, starting Wednesday.
Wahey! :-)

Gerv
Mark,

Please create this group ASAP. We can handle the reorg as a separate issue 
later.

Created netscape.public.mozilla.browser and gated to mozilla-browser@mozilla.org

Also the description provided was too long so I shortened the description to:

"Discussion of browsing application issues."
