"europa.intro+faq" is a moderated Newsgroup, where articles for new participants of the europa-hierarchy are regularly posted by the europa.* Steering Group. These articles are also intended to help system administrators, to become familiar with this hierarchy.

This article will be posted weekly, to ensure, that newcomers to this hierarchy will see this text, when they pull articles for the first time. Experienced users can set a filter on the Subject of this article (including date!), to make sure, that they'll see this article only, after it has changed.

For Tests of freshly installed news-software, please use the group "europa.test".

Should the group "europa.intro+faq" be nearly empty, you can find the articles of "europa.intro+faq" in the "World Wide Web" (WWW) under the following URL:

Since the respective articles contain the "Expires:"-header, the current articles should be kept on your server for a longer time period, as long as there aren't any refreshpostings issued. Good administrators have adjusted their news-system for this case. For the news-software INN (Unix) a suitable entry in the configuration file "expire.ctl" should look like this:

All articles contain the "Supersedes:"-header, which should ensure that your newsserver - if properly installed - will automatically delete old articles in "europa.intro+faq", if new articles arrive. In "europa.intro+faq" you should therefore find only the current versions of the posted articles.

The following articles are regularly posted to "europa.intro+faq" at this point of time:
