So why isn't c.distributed more popular? Or have you scared people away??

Martin,

comp.distributed is not more popular because people have not moved their
discussions about distributed computing projects and clients to it. They have
continued them in the SETI newsgroups and in website-based discussion groups.
Which is the reason for my original post: I want people to know the newsgroup
exists and is waiting for them to use it. I posted to the SETI newsgroups
because most distributed computing project participants (in all projects)
use these newsgroups.

For myself, I consider DC to be a very interesting idea and the projects
supported have added interest in themselves also.

That's great! Please consider writing about what you like (and don't like)
about these projects at comp.distributed, so that we can get some good
discussions going there, and give the project owners design ideas for the
next generations of their projects and software clients.

http://www.aspenleaf.com/distributed...-projects.html is a valuable
and well maintained resource, thanks.

Thanks for the feedback!

Regards,

Kirk
