Yea, but it's still so much better to use than web-forums though.

It's good, but it's a web forum.

Not really... if people want to talk about Android then that's enough of a
reason for a group to be created. If there's a dozen regular posters that's
probably sufficient (and I suspect there are enough people wanting to do
that on Usenet)

Knock up an RFD and give it a ago... it's not much work and you have nothing
to lose. Have a read of news.groups.proposals to see the sort of thing
that's required. (There was a recent discussion of comp.mobile.ipad, for
example). Be prepared for a discussion of whether it should be
misc.phone.mobile.android or comp.mobile.android or comp.os.android or...

The long-drawn-out voting process is now a thing of the past. If the group
is uncontentious it can be created quickly.
