I asked deja.com why they don't carry news.povray.org since I can't access
newsgroups through the usual news reader at work. Deja.com lets me read
other newsgroups through the usual web page system.
Deja.com answered:
"We will carry a group once it appears on the ISC active file
www.ISC.org).
Groups appearing here have followed the proper protocol and are propagated
to the Usenet at large, not just some servers."
I was wondering if anyone knew whether povray.org could or would be willing
to apply to this non-profit
group so deja could carry this newsgroup - it would help expand the number
of readers too.

They are not willing.

Taken from Ken's recent post (March 27, 2000, "News Server Acceptable
Use Policy"):
Quote:
The articles on this server are intended to be local. No news
servers may take a feed from news.povray.org. The POV-Team
claims collection copyright on the contents of our news data-
base. This is not for any commercial purpose, but to protect
the quality of peer support offered here. If posts from this
server are fed to USENET, users on USENET will start attemp-
ting to join in discussions there. However, as news.povray.org
does not take a feed from USENET, such postings will never be
seen on this server. We will not take a feed from USENET since
doing so would cause us to have to take all of the accompanying
baggage - namely, spam, spam, and more spam. At no time has
this server ever accepted a feed for any of the povray groups
from anywhere else. They are purely local and will remain that
way.
End-Quote
Greetings,
Johannes.

Since you are accessing Deja through the web, can't you just point
your web browser to this news server? I know Netscape can read the
posts here.
Later,

No, I guess he can't. Deja is HTTP and news genrally are NNTP.
