I and Pooja are working on this. The domain has been registered and the 
site will be put  up in some time. I will keep posting the group about 
suggestions/ideas.

Agree, Be Polite and Be helpful should be *very* prominently displayed 
.  I also suggest at least some of us have the group's web address in 
our signatures -will help in popularizing the group.

Noted.  Like on the LC main site, we will have a page with various 
group's objectives and subscription details. I am sure the groups (at 
least some of them) will take off well.

Like I said above we are working on the site design and content. Will 
put it up for suggestions/comments on this list soon.
