OK, the following names for a non-moderated group have been suggested:

	comp.os.minix.sources
	comp.os.minix.code
	comp.os.minix.software

If there is no obvious consensus, the vote will look like this:

	Part 1: should there be a non-moderated sources group as a
	companion to the existing comp.os.minix?

	Part 2: The name of this group should be:

		comp.os.minix.sources
		comp.os.minix.code
		comp.os.minix.software

	Please pick one name, and an alternate if one of the other
	names is acceptable. This alternate will be used to break a
	tie: if the votes look like this:

		.sources	40%
		.code		40%
		.software	20%

	In this case, the alternates from .software will be used to break
	the tie between .sources and .code (this is a simplified version
	of the Single Transferrable Vote system, AKA the Australian System).

I will arrange the ballot to make for convenient voting via "Reply".
