Message-ID: Date: 19 Oct 90 06:09:29 GMT References: <51731.655797309@atronx.UUCP> <6810@sugar.hackercorp.com> Followup-To: comp.sys.amiga Organization: Drew University/NJIN Lines: 49 [This is being cross-posted to news.groups... because newsgroup-type stuff should be.] I retract my idea for c.s.a.emulate (because I agree that is is a fad.) I have found one person that is willing to be the moderator for c.s.a.announce (should it be created). I think there is a lot of concensus about: comp.sys.amiga ---> comp.sys.amiga.misc comp.sys.amiga.tech ---> comp.sys.amiga.programmer create ---> comp.sys.amiga.announce create ---> comp.sys.amiga.applications (well, I'm not sure if there is good agreement on the last one. I'd be interested in discussion.) I don't have time to do the official call for discussion, call for votes, vote collection, etc. Midterms start soon around here, and I want to graduate on time :-) (this Spring). Is there anyone else willing to do this? Agenda of things to discuss: 1) Do we do the reorganization in one vote, or in many? (I think we could rename the two groups in one all-or-nothing vote; and create the new newsgroups in separate votes)? 2) Do we want to create comp.sys.amiga.applications? Should we create a different name for that kind of group or do we want some other topic? 3) Do we want to appoint a net.sargent.at.arms? Someone with the duty of sending people polite email ("approved" form-letters only) saying things like (but more polite than this) "Hi, I don't know if your post was placed in the right newsgroup, but here is the official definitions for future reference." or "Your post was inappropriate considering the charter of the comp.sys.amiga.* groups... etc. etc." or "You're a goober, go away." (The last one is optional) What do you think? -Tom -- tlimonce@drew.edu Tom Limoncelli "Freedom and justice tlimonce@drew.uucp +1 201 408 5389 are opposites" tlimonce@drew.Bitnet limonce@pilot.njin.net -me
