Yes, I hate to say it, but the all-encompassing grand re-organization
of comp.sys.amiga missed one.  It has been about six months since the
re-organization passed, so I feel it is time to suggest one more
group.

A new group called comp.sys.amiga.system would be quite useful.

This group would be for the discussion of operating system related
things, such as all the KickStart/WorkBench concerns, shells, and so
on.  It would also concern all those utilities such as backup
programs, screen blankers, mouse accellerators, directory utilities,
and so on that make the Amiga faster, easier, or safer without directly
producing useful work.  The group would be unmoderated.

Most of this sort of discussion is now ending up in
comp.sys.amiga.misc, with some trickling into csa.applications and
into csa.programmer.

The so-called "name-space freaks" should like this one, as there
already exists a comp.sys.mac.system, with (presumably) similar
purposes.

I do not have the resources to run a vote.  Do we have any volunteers
to make a formal call for discussion (this note with a different
Subject: line, I imagine) and call for votes?  I can think of a couple
people who could do it, but they know who they are.
