Rec.aviation.Soaring's days are numbered
I think this has been a valuable resource for the gliding community.
It just seems like a good idea to move this type of resource to another platform while we can tell the current users what the new platform is going to be. A Workspace Google Group would work, and administrative authority could be used to kick out the spammers. Ownership shouldn't be one guy. run it through the SSA with a volunteer(s) serving as administrator? Similar to the contest rules Committee. Or an outreach mission for one of the larger gliding clubs?
