Christopher, Thanks for this suggestion. I will send the charter to the group after I announce it on Boost-User. Although I'm happy to have gmane provide a newsreader interface for this list (I asked them to), the low-volume, time-sensitive nature of the traffic on Boost-General doesn't really cry out for a newsreader interface as do the dev and user lists which are high volume and contain information that will be valuable for searching for months and even years.

I see the newsgroup via the gmane.org web interface but it's not reported in the list of available newgroups in my newsreader. Perhaps if you post the charter as the first message gmane will list it via NNTP?

Boosters,
This messages announces the Boost General Interest mailing list, called Boost-Interest.
This list is a moderated low-traffic announcement-only list of interest to the Boost community. On topic messages will include announcements of books, magazine articles, papers, talks, seminars, products, tools, events, or conferences on advanced uses of C++, generic/generative/meta-programming, and, of course, the Boost libraries. Off topic will be discussion of any kind and job postings.
Yes, this is an opt-in list for announcements, but it is a moderated list and the moderators make you two promises. This list will be low volume and all messages will be on-topic (as defined by the charter above).
Subscribe or unsubscribe at the Boost-Interest home page:

Anyone may post to this list, but due to the high potential for abuse, each message is individually moderated. Please anticipate some delays in posting and understand that the list moderators have the final say on what is or is not on-topic.
