As a News veteran, can you help us newbies figure out:

- How to create a useful NNTP URL (<a href="news:...something here...">)
for comp.lang.scheme. I skimmed the RFC for that URI scheme, and it
seems to say that we should always give a particular news server. Is
that really so?

- Which web-based readers to offer? We now link to Google and Narkive.
For fairness, we could offer some more. Are any of these generally known
to have better user interface, or less spying, etc. than others?

- Which News tutorial to link to, in case newbies want to learn about
news? Currently we just link to Wikipedia.
