You might argue that the individual news readers should document
own usage instructions and then I might rudely laugh at you. But, Ithe
probably wouldn't because I'm not usually that rude. For example,
instructions for slrn are absolutely terrible. I can't even geton
Evolution on Linux to work as there are no instructions for reading
news even though it's supposed to be able to do it. And Thunderbird
Linux doesn't work correctly, or I can't get it to work correctly.time
So, the instructions should include which programs to use on which
platforms because how do you know that unless you waste a bunch of
trying them all. Only one person should have to waste all thattime.
I'm really only considering free solutions because Google Groupswas
free. So we could assume Eternal September and just embed theirserver
addresses into the news reader setup instructions.his

We could use a collaborative documentation system (that has the
ability to include screenshots) so that each person could document
own news reader of preference.
We could advertise our documentation in the Facebook groups to lure
people away.

There might have been an even older newsreader than ran under GNO/ME, but
I
may be mistaken. Can a GNO person confirm?

Today, I am that GNO person, and I found it. :-)
It's called MuGS, released 1994, "A passive NNTP newsreader for use with >ProLine, GNO or other."
