There are lots of important matters related to this topic that deserve the apropriate discussion. I couldn't help disagreeing from Alexander Verbraekc's article, <728@dutrun.UUCP> where he proposes changing the name of the group to 'comp.planning' because, traditionally, that kind of planning I assume we're talking about is, "automatic plan generation" which as been, for a long time, a specific branch of Artificial Intelligence, and I, for once, am in favour of giving credits where credits are due. Hopping that this does not generate a big discussion, I would like to state that the most important topic here is my positive vote to the creation of such a group; if there is an agreement in creating the group as 'comp.planning' I also give my agreement... Specifically to Alexander Verbraek, I would personally apreciate some comments on the topic, which I assume, could be sent to me by e-mail. -- ------ Joao Paulo B.
