REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)
unmoderated group comp.infosystems.harvest
Summary: The Harvest information discovery and access system.
Proposed by: Michael Schwartz <schwartz@cs.colorado.edu>
Technical Contact: Duane Wessels <wessels@cs.colorado.edu>
This is the official Request For Discussion concerning the creation of
a new group called comp.infosystems.harvest. This is not a call for
votes. If an agreement about the new group is reached within a
discussion period lasting 21-30 days, this RFD will be followed with a
formal Call For Votes. The CFV will be posted to the same newsgroups
and mail lists as this RFD, namely:
news.announce.newgroups, news.groups,
comp.infosystems.gopher, comp.infosystems.www.misc,
www-announce@mail.w3.org, www-proxy@mail.w3.org
Discussion of this proposal should take place in news.groups.
BACKGROUND
Harvest is an integrated set of customizable tools to gather,
extract, organize, search, cache, and replicate relevant
information across the Internet. More information is available at
http://harvest.cs.colorado.edu/.
RATIONALE
At present we have one mailing list for new release announcements,
and another mailing list for users to ask the Harvest team
technical questions. We are getting an increasingly frequent
stream of requests for a forum where users can communicate among
themselves. Additionally, Harvest related messages have been
appearing in various comp.infosystems.www.* newsgroups where they
may be inappropriate.
We believe there is now a sufficiently large user base to warrant a
separate group. As an indication, at present there are Harvest
servers installed at hundreds of sites worldwide, with new servers
being created and registered increasingly often. Also, there are
Harvest users at over 10,000 sites in 90 countries.
CHARTER
The proposed newsgroup is intended as a place for users of the
Harvest software to help each other and exchange ideas. The
Harvest development team will monitor the group and reply to
technical and other appropriate messages.
Harvest has a number of software components: a gatherer/content
extractor, a broker/indexer, a cache, and a replicator. The
proposed newsgroup will be an appropriate place to discuss each of
these subsystems.
Example topics may include:
- How to customize a broker.
- Porting Harvest to an unsupported platform.
- Organizing a large replication group.
- Suggestions for features and improvements.
PROCEDURE
To make comments about this RFD, please use the "followup" command,
which will post your response to the "news.groups" newsgroup. A
call for votes (CFV) will be issued approximately four weeks after
this RFD. Please do not post votes at this time. When the CFV is
posted, there will be instructions on how to mail your votes to the
independent vote counter.

HOW TO VOTE
-----------
You should send E-MAIL (posts to a group are invalid) to:
jamesm@dialogic.com
Just replying by E-MAIL to this message should work, assuming you are
reading this using standard newsreader software. Your mail message
should contain one and only one of the following statements:
I vote YES on comp.infosystems.harvest
I vote NO on comp.infosystems.harvest
I ABSTAIN on comp.infosystems.harvest
I CANCEL my vote on comp.infosystems.harvest
You may add a comment, or use other wording, but only a definite,
unconditional, unambiguous statement for or against the creation of
comp.infosystems.harvest will count as a vote.
Neither ABSTAIN nor CANCEL messages are counted as votes; they serve
only to cancel any previous vote. Abstentions are noted in the final
vote list, whereas CANCEL removes your vote from that list entirely.
(This is the only difference between the two.)
If you later change your mind you may vote again; only your last valid
vote will count.
All votes will be acknowledged by E-mail. If you don't receive an
acknowledgment within a few days of your vote, vote again. It is your
responsibility to make sure your vote is registered correctly.
Standard Guidelines for voting apply: no more than one vote per person,
no more than one vote per account. If you attempt multiple votes or
other vote fraud, all your votes may be canceled and your name published.
RESULT
------
The complete vote list will be posted with the vote result, including
how each person voted. Note that Usenet votes are not done by secret
ballot.
There will then be a five-day period during which the published vote
list may be corrected and any irregularities addressed. The
requirements for group creation are 100 more YES votes than NO votes,
and 2/3 of all counted votes being YES.
