For your newsgroups file:
comp.sources.postscript	Source code for programs written in PostScript. (Moderated)

The charter, culled from the call for votes:

  Source code written in the PostScript language would be appropriate.
  Fonts and programs in other languages that involve PostScript
  directly and heavily would be appropriate also.

  Clip Art:   Hand-made PostScript programs, converted binaries,
              or the machine generated output from a drawing tools,
              representing a graphical image meant to be included in
              documents. (Other art would usually be fine.)

  Utilities:  Hand-made PostScript programs either demonstrating or
              facilitating use of the PostScript graphics language.
              This would include PostScript generating programs and
              other tools not written in PostScript.

  Examples:   "How-to" examples would be encouraged.

  Fonts:      Fonts that can be used with the PostScript language.

  The focus will be on generally useful programs or art. Specific
  information, such as a new weathermap in PostScript posted daily, is
  more like a binary than a source, and would not be appropriate.

  Text documents formatted in PostScript would not be appropriate.

  EPS conversion, DSC conformance, and commented code would be
  facilitated and encouraged, but not required.
