Perhaps what is needed is a read-only nntp group with quick help tips such as what is appropriate on each forum/group, how to post, etc. I think I saw some tips (I'm talking out of year-old memories) on the web interface, but I don't see them on NNTP.
We try to make the names pretty self-descriptive; many newsreaders can read a description field (it's optional in the RFC as I recall) that gives a text description of the group. I don't know if the server we use can present that, but I think it can.
I don't recall seeing it. Hovering the mouse pointer over the names do not show a description in thunderbird, so either the server doesn't send it or Th. doesn't use it. But I have a foggy recollection of seeing descriptions with leafnode. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 11.2 x86_64 "Emerald" GM (Minas Tirith))
