Keep an eye on the newsgroup "news.groups" for a post titled "3rd RFD:
rec.autos.simulators reorganization". It's my understanding that getting
RFDs (Request For Discussion) through the official USENET mechanisms can
take a while - this RFD has been in the works for over a week now.
As for what will happen, I guess we'll discuss the proposed split some
more until we all agree, then there will be a call for votes (CFV). I'm
in the same boat as you - I've not done this before either.
too.
There are regular official postings in news.groups along the lines of "How
to create a newsgroup". I reckon one of these will have the full
explanation you're looking for.
My pleasure
James
