Proposal For A New Rec.Aviation Newsgroup. (WAS: McCain in '08)

How do you propose to assure that periodic notices are posted? That
sounds like a job for the UNIX 'at' command.

That's what I use.

I notice that one of the main features of your script is the use of
PGP signature. Is this a requirement for FAQ document articles?

It is not; but all of the moderated groups that I run require PGP
signatures for anything that's posted to them, as anything that's *not*
appropriately PGP-signed is automatically cancelled (and filtered through
NoCeM as well). So I put in the effort to make sure that my own FAQs are
safe. You can probably ignore that part unless you start doing
complicated things.

There is also mention of possible difficulties if some of the other
message header fields are omitted or incorrectly formatted. Is there
documentation describing the requirements for FAQ posting someplace?

A quick Google search came up with this:

http://www.ii.com/internet/faqs/writing/#writing

These aren't requirements, they're just the rules for submitting
things through to news.answers. (There's problems with news.answers at the
moment, too, so that might not be that helpful; but it's a good
introduction.)
