Re: Does A reuse newsgroup exist.

>Is there a reuse newsgroup on the Internet?

comp.sw-components  talks about reuse and software components, but there is
little traffic for that group.

comp.software-eng  has a lot of talk about software engineering, with an
occasional article on software reuse.

Then there are discussion areas associated with some of the USENET online
software repositories, where one area has code posted, and another area
talk about using the Internet to have these codes reused.


In general, reuse is not much of a business, so finding a few business types
willing to keep a discussion group going is hard to find.  And most academic
efforts in reuse tend to avoid the more difficult and more boring aspects of
reuse that people in companies are interested in to start their reuse efforts.

There is a government sponsored Reuse Interoperability Group that meets
regularly to talk about reuse.  It would be nice if they posted some of
their discussions and results to the Internet.
