Coming back to your original post. Several practical comments ...

1 - Despite Google being the great search engine--on Google Groups its 
Neandertal. Basically it does NOT work. If anyone is assuming that 
prefixing a post with "Query:" would bring up ONLY such prefixed posts they 
are mistaken. Its UNWORKABLE unless you are an expert in search. THIS is 
important to grasp. In my own attempts to find my own posts later I 
included the word "Houston" in a post. Even THAT doesn't bring up the exact 
match.
2 - IMO the way ahead, *given we are lumbered with Google Groups*, is PINNED 
threads. Everything else enters the swamp quickly. NO NEWBIE would ever 
search for what they have no idea exists somewhere. *For PINNING you would 
need Jeremy Ruston to agree its looking useful* to activate it.

3 - WHAT PINNED threads would help BOTH us and new users?

   - NEW HERE? - Basic notes for Newbies about (a) what TW is; (b) how to 
   use the group to learn more. Overall, helping them hang in here.


   - SHOWCASE - Links to good TW that show what it does.


   - KIT - Links to Plugins, Bundles & Macros that help you get things 
   done. IMO this needs to be curated.

This is a maximal-minimal proposal within GG. 


A minimal-maximal proposal I think would be NEW HERE? as a key first.


My two pence
