About
- creates well-named, well-used newsgroups in the Big-8 Usenet hierarchies,
- makes necessary adjustments to existing groups,
- removes groups that are not well-used, and
- assists and encourages the support of a canonical Big-8 newsgroup list by Usenet sites.
Board members also maintain STUMP and WebSTUMP, which are GNU packages that facilitate the moderation of Usenet newsgroups.
We use donations primarily to pay our web/news hosting bills, and secondarily to cover expenses associated with the Board's outreach activities (e.g., attendance at technical conferences where we speak about the Board's work) and to help fund maintenance and development of STUMP and WebSTUMP.
