+<h1>New comp.lang.php newsgroup started</h1>
+
+<p>
+<font class="newsdate">[09-Jul-2002]</font> comp.lang.php was created yesterday,
+after a two and a half month long process started in April by Ian Fette resulted
+in a <a href="http://groups.google.com/groups?q=comp.lang.php&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&sel
+m=1025483879.39561%40isc.org&rnum=3">177-11 vote</a> in favor of the group.
+The new group is already carried on most news servers, and should be carried
+on almost all news servers in the world within the next few days.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The new group is important for a few reasons: Firstly, the old alt.* php
+groups suffered from poor propagation - i.e. not all servers carried them,
+and the community was split between multiple groups. This new group offers a
+chance to unite the PHP-Usenet community. Secondly, most servers have longer
+post-retention times for comp.* than alt.*. Finally, the creation of
+comp.lang.php represents PHP's coming to acceptance and maturity. Virtually
+all languages (except ASP) have a spot under the comp.lang.* heirarchy. Stop
+on by and become a part of the community - comp.lang.php is a great place to
+get help and to help others.
