Migration to new news server and reorganization of netscape.public.* hierarchy

[Frank Wein]

Hi,
as you may have already read somewhere on the web, the migration to the
new news server will finally take part in January 2006 (probably first
half of it). Connected to this is the migration to new newsgroup hierarchy.
The new news server/infrastructure will be hosted by GigaNews, but of
course access to the news server news.mozilla.org will remain free as it
is right now :). So the new news group hierarchy will not be propagated
to the rest of the Usenet like before, you can only find the new groups
on news.mozilla.org, GigaNews servers and on Google Groups then.
If you don't know the new newsgroup hierarchy yet, take a look at
http://www.mozilla.org/community/newsgroups.txt, there the new newsgroup
hierarchy can be found.
If you still have questions take a look at the FAQ under
http://www.mozilla.org/community/giganews-migration.html first.
