similar newsgroups?

[Thomas Dowling]

Web4Lib is not, technically speaking, a newsgroup but a mailing list. 
However, for people coming up to speed on web issues, I strongly recommend
some of the newsgroups in the comp.infosystems.www hierarchy.  I find a lot
of benefit from reading c.i.w.authoring.html and c.i.w.browsers.ms-windows;
if I had more time I'd probably read c.i.w.servers.unix more often.

General caveats about Usenet newsgroups: do a LOT more listening than
speaking, find and read the FAQ lists, and remember that some of the
posters are pursuing their own agendas.  These are rather sprightly groups.
