In addition each nn* backend should have a function that says "my groups should probably be under topic X". So news-p backends would say "News" and nndraft would say "Drafts" for example. It shouldn't be enforced, but maybe the user could be gently guided to use that topic the first time he subscribes to a group. Ted
