Split jazz.user into jazz.user and jazz.admin?

Many questions in this newsgroup are administration related. 'jazz.user'
is also the most active group.
Maybe it would make sense to create a new newsgroup 'jazz.admin',
specifically for setup/administration questions?

I would count customizing to 'user' to prevent an inflation of groups.
My thinking was that the newsgroups should cater to typical roles:

- Sysadmins: jazz.admin
- Developers: jazz.extend
- Everyone: jazz.user

(2) Extending Team Concert (NNTP: jazz.extend)
Questions and discussions about extending Rational Team Concert with new capabilities.
(3) Academic use and research (NNTP: jazz.research)
Discuss the use of Team Concert in academic settings and academic research projects.

Like this?

My question about process configuration was an attempt to point out that people may not easily see that process customization, especially at the project level is not administration.

Having said that, I think that you may want to change the descriptions as follows as installation should probably be on the admin side:

(1) How-to, troubleshooting, and general discussion (NNTP: jazz.user)
Questions and discussions about using Rational Team Concert

(4) Administering Team Concert
Questions and discussions about installing and administering Rational Team Concert and Jazz Team Server
