Summary: new newsgroup gnu.design.discuss Keywords: gnu.design.discuss Message-ID: <35328@grapevine.EBay.Sun.COM> Date: 1 Mar 90 02:32:10 GMT References: <9002272346.AA01632@sugar-bombs.ai.mit.edu> <708@qmfl.jrdc.go.jp> Sender: news@grapevine.EBay.Sun.COM Distribution: gnu Organization: Sun Microsystems Federal, Inc. Lines: 14 How about the creation of a new newsgroup, gnu.design.discuss? The purpose of this newgroup would be to discuss design and implementation strategies for the various portions of GNU. A netwide think tank, if you will. Also, the designers of the GNU utilities might post their ideas for public perusal. This is more of a "way things should be" group, unlike (for instance) gnu.gcc, which discusses the way things are. What do the readers of this group think? -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- James Buster (Domain) bitbug@lonewolf.ebay.sun.com Mad Hacker Extraordinaire (UUCP) ...!sun.com!lonewolf!bitbug ---------------------------------------------------------------------
