Yes, or something like it. The group should not be devoted only to C
(yacc-lex-bison-flex-...) but to language construction techniques in
general. 

I think a pool of experience in this area would be an admirable
supplement to the anecdotal texts which are presently available. What
say someone calls for discussion.

Also: There will be a 'name the baby' crisis here. comp.lang.yacc
seems to have no claim to be preferred over comp.lang.bison, or
comp.lang.lex, etc..
