Post in Feedback About OnlineGroups.Net

Hi Kaj,

With our service, all the ETJ groups would be on a single site. Would
that be an advantage to you?

If your groups were all public, then your OnlineGroups.Net site would be
free.

Registration is a challenge on any system, but we have recently improved
our registration so that it is fairly simple (we think). I'd be very
interested to hear non-native English-speakers get on with it.

Looks like you've been reading our design goals! Please let me know if I
can help you with this.

By the way, do you have any requirement to support Japanese character
sets? While we do not yet offer a multi-lingual interface, our sites do
support Unicode, which makes it possible to display a wide range of
character sets. (If you are interested in testing this, try posting some
Hiragana ひらがな, Kanji 漢字 or Katakana カタカナ to this group, and
viewing it on the Web.)
