 Usenet II
Usenet II is an attempt to create a structure where the traditional Usenet model of cooperation and trust can be made to work in the Internet of the 21st century.
This isn't to say that we'll prevent anyone from posting to Usenet II just because of who they are, but if they can't cooperate they'll have a much harder time finding an open site to launch their attacks from.
The Usenet II hierarchy managers (Czars), czars.txt (Mirror) will be doing most of the hard work, delegated to them by the gophers in the Usenet II Steering Committee, committee.txt (Mirror).

 Usenet Hierarchy Administration FAQ
It is aimed at the hierarchy administrators rather than at news admins and tries to summarize the issues to consider in making it easy for news admins to carry the hierarchy.
A Usenet hierarchy is, reduced to its essence, a set of Usenet newsgroups that share a common naming prefix, such as all groups starting with "comp." or all groups starting with "de.".
How the list of newsgroups in that hierarchy should be maintained varies very widely between hierarchies, from the complete anarchy of alt.* to the highly formal system used by comp.*, or simply by fiat of the organization running the hierarchy as with microsoft.*.

 Usenet is still a strange place
Even though Usenet has changed it's face over the last, say ten years, the simple idea of exchanging ideas and having discussions among a large number of people by posting articles on a global message-board has pertained.
The history of Usenet is so closely linked to the history of the Internet itself and the history of Unix (and thus Linux!), that it is worth to spend some time finding out how things started.
The structure of Usenet and the way these articles are copied from news server to news server require the posting agent to be as standards-conform as possible.
