Path: utzoo!utgpu!jarvis.csri.toronto.edu!mailrus!ncar!announce-moderator From: rsalz@bbn.com (Rich Salz) Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups Subject: news.lists.ps-maps passes, 190 to 11 Message-ID: <9001152324.AA02504@litchi.bbn.com> Date: 14 Jan 90 20:43:25 GMT Sender: woods@ncar.ucar.edu Reply-To: Rich Salz Followup-To: news.groups Lines: 243 Approved: woods@ncar.ucar.edu (Greg Woods) The group news.lists.ps-maps (moderated) passes, 119 to 11. Almost everyone put the group name and their vote in the subject line, which made filing the mail messages trivial. Thanks. Very few people made other comments -- they're summarized below. I found one thing very interesting: I didn't much care whether the group got created or not, but every time I got a NO vote I wanted to ask why, and convince the person to change their mind. Perhaps we should consider changing the guidelines so that the person proposing the group doesn't take the votes? No vote comments: Use news.lists I strongly disapprove of moderated groups Make the information available via FTP Yes vote comments: I would have preferred news.ps-maps since a map isn't a list I don't really care about the name A group for just the postscript maps is a bit extravagant; I'd prefer a simple statstics group for all such information (including the maps, both group readership summaries, etc). I still think the name is slightly awkward, but I couldn't do better, so Although I'd prefer news.ps-maps Much better name than in the proposal! Preferred names: news.lists.maps news.maps.ps news.lists.ps-maps I still like news.lists.maps.ps better news.maps.ps A general 'graphic image' newsgroup would be better I still think it should be called news.list.maps I would, honestly, rather have had avoided "lists", since they are not lists, they are maps. I would have preferred news.maps.postscript or news.ps-maps I liked this name best of all BTW. I thought the "ps-" part unnecessary. Thanks. /rich $alz, for Brian Reid Jeff Makey "Steven L.
