Sounds like Dear Abby. I think methods would be better. Not all implimentation issues are questions. > c.s.a.prog-asm > c.s.a.prog-arexx (or just let comp.lang.rexx > carry the amiga stuff, too) How about comp.sys.amiga.programmer.script? (or suitable mutation) That would cover Arexx, AmigaDOS scripts, and even catch things like Sksh and Csh. > c.s.a.prog-langs (and/or prog-misc) I would put that under tools. A compiler or interpreter is a programmer tool. Amiga specific issues would concern the Amiga compilers. Any topics that are truly about the langauge itself should go into the proper group under comp.lang.* > c.s.a.prog-docs Eh? Are we talking about errors in the RKM's or what? > c.s.a.prog-system (and/or prog-scripts) Hmmm. When I think of systems programming I don't think of scripts. Unlike Unix we don't have people hacking the AmigaOS kernel so I don't think this will get much traffic. > (or c.s.a.system, Dan's proposal, though I like to > think of this as programming too) I think comp.sys.amiga.system can stand by itself. Especially with the advent of 2.0 there are a lot of system issues that do not deal with programming.
