This newsgroup is internationally distributed and aims to have global interest. Posters are encouraged to use English so that more readers can understand their announcement. However, posters may use a different language if they wish, especially if the resource they are announcing is in a language other than English. Announcements which do not follow the format specified will not appear in the newsgroup. Follow-ups directed to other newsgroups will be honored at the moderator's discretion.
Announcers can post two ways.
First, they can use whatever news software they usually use to post directly to the newsgroup. The message will land in the moderator's mailbox automatically. Please note that we will not post announcements which come from, or appear to come from, third parties who have found a cool site and want to tell the world. Announcements should be made by someone who is involved in the creation or administration of a site so that the resulting hits are not a surprise to the site maintainers. From there, either a human being or a robo-moderating program will approve the post and send it to the newsgroup.
