New Mozilla newsgroups will not go to Usenet

It’s finally public. See:
http://www.mozilla.org/community/giganews-migration.html

It’s been decided, at least initially, to limit propagation to only GigaNews and Google Groups. We have agreements in place with both services to not propagate messages any further. Based on feedback from the community, this may change at some point in the future, but deciding to allow propagation is an irreversible decision so we’re starting out the “safe” way. 🙂

As for the question of when: The first half of January…..2006.
