There is a proposal currently in news.announce.newgroups to remove 198
unmoderated newsgroups all across the BIG8. Because of the magnitude
of the group list the proposal is not crossposted to target groups.
Instead pointers are posted to a few selected groups.

The full text of the proposal is available here:

http://www.big-8.org/wiki/Nan:2011-02-01-rfd-great-downsizing
http://groups.google.com/group/news.announce.newgroups/msg/091abc69fd45436b

Affected groups that might interest you:

comp.windows.garnet The Garnet user interface development environment.
comp.windows.interviews The InterViews object-oriented windowing system.
comp.windows.open-look Discussion about the Open Look GUI.
comp.windows.suit The SUIT user-interface toolkit.
comp.windows.ui-builders.teleuse Using/augmenting the TeleUSE UI Builder.
comp.windows.x.i386unix The XFree86 window system and others.

If you have any objections, please make them heard in moderated group
news.groups.proposals. The "Followup-To:" header is set on this message,
so simply replying to this post should do the right thing.
