Well, the thing is, that if you decide to go with your ideas, ie
replace the news.answer archive with a distributed Web-solution that
doesn't archive things but just point to different sites, then you
get:

The WWW Virtual Library:
http://www.w3.org/hypertext/DataSources/bySubject/Overview.html

It already exists. Nobody has to replace, enhance or modify
news.answers in anyway. Just register with the Virtual Library, and
then stop using news.answers.
