As a quick followup to this, us just adding aus.wireless to usenet  
has the potential to annoy a lot of people. This being the case, we  
have changed the group names.

The server is still the same, however instead of using  
aus.wireless.groups.*, we now use wifi.groups.* This will ease the  
transition if/when we merge the group listings to a global usenet feed.

I have updated all the mail <-> news gateways. Can people who run  
news interfaces on their wireless nodes, please check that they are  
mirroring this change.

Thanks.
