A discussion on reorganizing the comp.unix hierarchy has been progressing in news.groups for quite some time. Everyone is welcome to join the discussion there. When the comp.unix.sco vote is over, I will issue a Call For Discussion on the comp.unix reorganization proposal outlined below, with whatever changes may arise due to discussion before then. I do not want my proposal confused with comp.unix.sco, which is why I'm waiting until c.u.s blows over. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ So far, we have the following proposals. Please make comment by followup article or E-Mail, as you think appropriate. Please note that when voting time comes, each voter will have to give a "yes" or "no" answer on each group to be created or renamed. The guidelines do not permit one overall vote for multiple groups.
