A description of the newsgroup (extracted from the RFD) follows: REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION : Creating of a USENET group called: misc.entrepreneurs I am herein proposing the creation of a new newsgroup to be used as an open forum for the discussion of all aspects of entrepreneurial ventures. NAME: misc.entrepreneurs CHARTER: Discussion of what it takes to be an entrepreneur; what are the issues involved in starting an entrepreneurial venture (My proposal is not to restrict the discussions to computer related entrepreneurial ventures.) MODERATION STATUS: unmoderated. JUSTIFICATION: The last decade of the twentieth century has been hall-marked as the "DECADE OF THE ENTREPRENEURS". Every person has a dream; some of them happen to have dreams of being entrepreneurs; A lot of corporations (eg. 3COM) have encouraged entrepreneurs withing their organizations, what they call as "intra- preneurs". There is a wealth of information that needs to be tapped before one embarks on a venture. USENET offers an efficient and inexpensive way of communicating discussing, and sharing ideas and thoughts. -- - Ramesh Chandak rc05@gte.com loverboy@athena.mit.edu "Standard hi-tech disclaimer applies : These views do not represent my employer or my employer's opinions in any form whatsoever."--
