   With the end of Google Groups, It'd be nice if there were a   
   one-stop-shop for Google Groups replacement instructions, separated by   
   OS and news reader client.   
      
   You might argue that the individual news readers should document their   
   own usage instructions and then I might rudely laugh at you. But, I   
   probably wouldn't because I'm not usually that rude. For example, the   
   instructions for slrn are absolutely terrible. I can't even get   
   Evolution on Linux to work as there are no instructions for reading   
   news even though it's supposed to be able to do it. And Thunderbird on   
   Linux doesn't work correctly, or I can't get it to work correctly.   
      
   So, the instructions should include which programs to use on which   
   platforms because how do you know that unless you waste a bunch of time   
   trying them all. Only one person should have to waste all that time.   
      
   I'm really only considering free solutions because Google Groups was   
   free. So we could assume Eternal September and just embed their server   
   addresses into the news reader setup instructions.

   We could use a collaborative documentation system (that has the   
   ability to include screenshots) so that each person could document his   
   own news reader of preference.   
      
   We could advertise our documentation in the Facebook groups to lure   
   people away.
