The Big 8 branch about Usenet itself: server software, administration, group proposals, and network policy. news.announce.newgroups carries formal proposals and results, news.answers archives periodic FAQ postings, and news.software.nntp discusses server implementations. Newcomers were traditionally pointed at news.announce.newusers. Several groups here are moderated, since between them they form the written record of how the network governs itself.
