I was going to suggest comp.editors, but then I recognised your name. :-D > In general, how does one find a suitable mailing list or USENET group? > Others must have the same general problem. In general, I leverage presearch or duckduckgo to find something, anything, pertinent relating to what I am researching. If I find a good resource, I bookmark it so that I have it to hand. Usenet is rather quiet these days, something I hope will change once people tire of web-forums that is more preoccupied with showing you ads than they are solving your problem. Also, Usenet is older, so Kate is perhaps too modern for there to be a dedicated usenet group for it. You could check in one of the news.* groups if there is any objection to creating a comp.editors.kate group. The tricky part is that every usenet server out there needs to be told there is a new group and then take action to start carrying it. It could take weeks, or months, before a new group have proper reach. Mailing lists, well.. You could ask Debian Project nicely if they would create a list for the audience you seek if there isn't one already. Or check with the KDE project if they have a dedicated list for Kate and if not, would they be happy to create one? Personally, I am happy that you at least considered Usenet as a route to potentially receive help. Not many these days would have. If the group gets created, I will carry it on my little server. -- Kind regards, /S
