Request for Discussion: comp.programming.literate
-------------------------------------------------
Proposed name: comp.programming.literate
Proposed moderation status: unmoderated
Proposed Charter: A forum for the discussion of issues related
to literate programming.
(1) To share ideas, questions, experiences, and knowledge about the
reading and writing of literate programs.
(2) To discuss the merits of the currently existing literate
programming tools.
(3) To discuss the design of new literate programming tools.
Background: What is Literate Programming?
In an article published in _The Computer Journal_ 27 (1984), 97-111,
Donald E. Knuth proposed a "literate" programming style:
I believe that the time is ripe for significantly better
documentation of programs, and that we can best achieve this by
considering programs to be works of literature. Hence, my title:
"Literate Programming."
Let us change our traditional attitude to the construction of
programs: Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct
a *computer* what to do, let us concentrate rather on explaining
to *human beings* what we want a computer to do.
The practitioner of literate programming can be regarded as an
essayist, whose main concern is with exposition and excellence of
style. Such an author, with thesaurus in hand, chooses the names
of variables carefully and explains what each variable means. He
or she strives for a program that is comprehensible because its
concepts have been introduced in an order that is best for human
understanding, using a mixture of formal and informal methods that
reinforce each other.
A literate programming system can be characterized by the following
properties:
- The compilable program and the publishable documentation should be
generated *automatically* from a *single* document.
- The program can be presented in the order that is best for human
understanding, regardless of any requirements of the programming
language.
- The program should be automatically indexed and cross-referenced.
Knuth's original system, called WEB, generated Pascal code and a TeX
documentation. Most tools relating to the TeX system have been written
using WEB, and the TeX and Metafont programs have been published in book
form.
Today, there are Literate Programming systems for a wide range of
programming languages and documentation systems. Specialized Literate
Programming tools have been written for Ada, Awk, C, C++, Fortran,
Modula-2, Modula-3, Pascal and Scheme, and generic tools exist that
can generate almost any programming language (including Perl and sh).
Documentation systems supported include TeX, Troff, and Word for
Windows.
Existing Resources
The mailing list LitProg@SHSU.EDU has existed for about a year. There
are currently more than 300 subscribers and an average of about 80
messages (corresponding to about 150K of traffic) per month in the
first 6 months of this year.
If a newsgroup is created, mechanisms are already in place to support
a mirrored gateway between it and the existing mailing list. For
reference purposes, the newsgroup will be fully archived by the host
sponsoring the mailing list.
Discussion
Discussion should be confined to news.groups. Please do not post
responses to any other groups. Discussions may also be e-mailed to
neeri@iis.ee.ethz.ch if posting is not possible.
Assuming there is a consensus that the group comp.programming.literate
should be created, voting will start 21 days from the first posting
date of this request. Voting instructions will be published in a Call
for Votes to the same newsgroups that see this Request for Discussion.
Both this Request for Discussion and the Call for Votes will be
crossposted to the "LitProg@shsu.edu" mailing list.

REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)
moderated group comp.programming.literate (moderates existing group)
This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) to moderate
the world-wide unmoderated Usenet newsgroup comp.programming.literate.
This is not a Call for Votes (CFV); you cannot vote at this time.
Procedural details are below.
Newsgroup lines:
comp.programming.literate Literate programming and LP tools. (Moderated)
RATIONALE: comp.programming.literate
The newsgroup comp.programming.literate was voted into existence in
September 1993, with charter substantially identical to that given
below. The title of the newsgroup has led many people to assume that
the newsgroup exists to provide general ``programming literacy.'' As
a result, traffic on the newsgroup is of two separate types that
clearly don't belong together:
- discussions of literate programming
- requests for help and other questions for people who are
presumably ``programming literate''
Some people estimate that three-quarters of posts to
comp.programming.literate are for general programming help. According
to the charter of the group, these posts are off topic. On 12 Dec
1996 at the University of Virginia news server, 13 threads were
off-topic, 7 were discussing literate programming, and 2 were
discussing how to reduce the number of off-topic posts.
The proposal is to moderate comp.programming.literate, so it can be
reserved for discussions of literate programming. General programming
questions will revert to comp.programming or to the many other
newsgroups to which they are often cross-posted.
CHARTER: comp.programming.literate
A forum for the discussion of literate programming.
(1) To share ideas, questions, experiences, and knowledge about
the reading and writing of literate programs or more generally
the presentation of code for human readers (e.g., prettyprinting).
(2) To discuss the merits of the currently existing literate-
programming and related tools.
(3) To discuss the design of new literate-programming and related
tools.
Moderation Policies:
Any posting that bears a plausible relationship to literate
programming is welcome. For example, discussion may include
techniques for prettyprinting code or other techniques for documenting
design or code.
Advertising of tools or services related to literate programming
(e.g., offers to review programs for pay) is considered acceptable.
Other advertising is unacceptable.
Background:
The rest of this section presents some background information to help
people identify what topics are related to literate programming.
In an article published in _The Computer Journal_ 27 (1984), 97-111,
Donald E. Knuth proposed a "literate" programming style:
I believe that the time is ripe for significantly better
documentation of programs, and that we can best achieve this by
considering programs to be works of literature. Hence, my title:
"Literate Programming."
Let us change our traditional attitude to the construction of
programs: Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct
a *computer* what to do, let us concentrate rather on explaining
to *human beings* what we want a computer to do.
The practitioner of literate programming can be regarded as an
essayist, whose main concern is with exposition and excellence of
style. Such an author, with thesaurus in hand, chooses the names
of variables carefully and explains what each variable means. He
or she strives for a program that is comprehensible because its
concepts have been introduced in an order that is best for human
understanding, using a mixture of formal and informal methods that
reinforce each other.
There is reasonable (but not unanimous) consensus that a
literate-programming system can be characterized by the following
properties:
- The compilable program and the publishable documentation should be
generated *automatically* from a *single* source.
- The program can be presented in the order that is best for human
understanding, regardless of any requirements of the programming
language.
- The program should be automatically indexed and cross-referenced.
- The program may be formatted or prettyprinted in a way that makes
it especially readable.
Existing literate-programming systems support a wide range of
programming languages and documentation systems. Specialized tools
have been written for Ada, Awk, C, C++, Fortran, Modula-2, Modula-3,
Pascal and Scheme, and there are language-independent tools exist that
support almost any programming language (including Perl, sh, and
make). Documentation systems supported include HTML, TeX, Troff, and
Word for Windows.
END CHARTER.

Moderator: Norman Ramsey <nr@cs.virginia.edu>
Moderator: Patrick TJ McPhee <ptjm@io.org>
These moderators were chosen more or less at random from a pool of 14
volunteers. Many are long-time participants in
comp.programming.literate, and some have made major contributions to
the literate-programming community. All are easily capable of
identifying off-topic posts. The group intends to use the
robo-moderation software described at
http://www.algebra.com/~ichudov/usenet/scrm/robomod/robomod.html
It is anticipated that volunteers will rotate into and out of the
group approximately every six months.
END MODERATOR INFO.
PROCEDURE:
This is a request for discussion, not a call for votes. In this phase
of the process, any potential problems with the proposed newsgroups
should be raised and resolved. The discussion period will continue
for a minimum of 21 days (starting from when the first RFD for this
proposal is posted to news.announce.newgroups), after which a Call For
Votes (CFV) may be posted by a neutral vote taker if the discussion
warrants it. Please do not attempt to vote until this happens.
All discussion of this proposal should be posted to news.groups.
This RFD attempts to comply fully with the Usenet newsgroup creation
guidelines outlined in "How to Create a New Usenet Newsgroup" and "How
to Format and Submit a New Group Proposal". Please refer to these
documents (available in news.announce.newgroups) if you have any
questions about the process.

Moderation will primarily be automatic, by robo-moderator.
Submissions from regular contributors will be accepted immediately,
without human intervention. The human moderators will examine other
submissions; any submission that conforms to the newsgroup charter
will be accepted, and the person making the submission will be added
to the list of regular contributors (whose posts are automatically
accepted). In the unlikely event that a regular contributor sends a
number of off-topic posts, that person will be notified by a moderator
and removed from the list of regular contributors. The exact number
of such posts required to trigger this action is left to the good
judgement of the moderators. The moderators will continue to accept
on-topic posts from such persons; no person is ever to be prohibited
from posting articles deemed acceptable under this charter.

HOW TO VOTE:
Send email to: jjd@primenet.com
Your email message should contain one and only one of the following
statements:
I vote YES on comp.programming.literate
I vote NO on comp.programming.literate
You may also vote ABSTAIN or CANCEL. ABSTAIN does not affect the
final vote count in any way but is listed in the final voting results.
CANCEL removes any earlier vote and is not listed in the final voting
results.
VOTING PROCEDURE NOTES:
Standard Guidelines for voting apply. One account per person and one
vote per person. Votes must be mailed directly from the voter to the
votetaker. Anonymous, forwarded or proxy votes are not valid; this
includes votes generated by WWW/HTML/CGI forms.
Vote counting is automated: If you don't follow these directions then
your vote may not get counted. If you do not receive an
acknowledgment of your vote within several days, contact the votetaker
about the problem. It's your responsibility to make sure that your
vote is registered correctly. Duplicate votes are resolved in favor
of the most recent valid vote. Addresses and votes of all voters will
be published in the final voting results post.
The purpose of a Usenet vote is to determine the genuine interest in
people who would read a proposed newsgroup. Soliciting votes from
disinterested people defeats this purpose. Please do not redistribute
this CFV. If you must, direct people to the official CFV as posted to
news.announce.newgroups. Distributing pre-marked or otherwise edited
copies of this CFV will result in those votes being cancelled. When
in doubt, ask the votetaker.

below. The title of the newsgroup has led many people to assume that
the newsgroup exists to provide general ``programming literacy.'' As
a result, traffic on the newsgroup is of two separate types that
clearly don't belong together:
- discussions of literate programming
- requests for help and other questions for people who are
presumably ``programming literate''
Some people estimate that three-quarters of posts to
comp.programming.literate are for general programming help. According
to the charter of the group, these posts are off topic. On 12 Dec
1996 at the University of Virginia news server, 13 threads were
off-topic, 7 were discussing literate programming, and 2 were
discussing how to reduce the number of off-topic posts.
The proposal is to moderate comp.programming.literate, so it can be
reserved for discussions of literate programming. General programming
questions will revert to comp..programming or to the many other
newsgroups to which they are often cross-posted.
CHARTER: comp.programming.literate
A forum for the discussion of literate programming.
(1) To share ideas, questions, experiences, and knowledge about
the reading and writing of literate programs or more generally
the presentation of code for human readers (e.g., prettyprinting).
(2) To discuss the merits of the currently existing literate-
programming and related tools.
(3) To discuss the design of new literate-programming and related
tools.
Moderation Policies:
Any posting that bears a plausible relationship to literate
programming is welcome. For example, discussion may include
techniques for prettyprinting code or other techniques for documenting
design or code.
Advertising of tools or services related to literate programming
(e.g., offers to review programs for pay) is considered acceptable.
Other advertising is unacceptable.
Moderation will primarily be automatic, by robo-moderator.
Submissions from regular contributors will be accepted immediately,
without human intervention. The human moderators will examine other
submissions; any submission that conforms to the newsgroup charter
will be accepted, and the person making the submission will be added
to the list of regular contributors (whose posts are automatically
accepted). In the unlikely event that a regular contributor sends a
number of off-topic posts, that person will be notified by a moderator
and removed from the list of regular contributors. The exact number
of such posts required to trigger this action is left to the good
judgement of the moderators. The moderators will continue to accept
on-topic posts from such persons; no person is ever to be prohibited
from posting articles deemed acceptable under this charter.
Background:
The rest of this section presents some background information to help
people identify what topics are related to literate programming.
In an article published in _The Computer Journal_ 27 (1984), 97-111,
Donald E. Knuth proposed a "literate" programming style:
I believe that the time is ripe for significantly better
documentation of programs, and that we can best achieve this by
considering programs to be works of literature. Hence, my title:
"Literate Programming."
Let us change our traditional attitude to the construction of
programs: Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct
a *computer* what to do, let us concentrate rather on explaining
to *human beings* what we want a computer to do.
The practitioner of literate programming can be regarded as an
essayist, whose main concern is with exposition and excellence of
style. Such an author, with thesaurus in hand, chooses the names
of variables carefully and explains what each variable means. He
or she strives for a program that is comprehensible because its
concepts have been introduced in an order that is best for human
understanding, using a mixture of formal and informal methods that
reinforce each other.
There is reasonable (but not unanimous) consensus that a
literate-programming system can be characterized by the following
properties:
- The compilable program and the publishable documentation should be
generated *automatically* from a *single* source.
- The program can be presented in the order that is best for human
understanding, regardless of any requirements of the programming
language.
- The program should be automatically indexed and cross-referenced.
- The program may be formatted or prettyprinted in a way that makes
it especially readable.
Existing literate-programming systems support a wide range of
programming languages and documentation systems. Specialized tools
have been written for Ada, Awk, C, C++, Fortran, Modula-2, Modula-3,
Pascal and Scheme, and there are language-independent tools exist that
support almost any programming language (including Perl, sh, and
make). Documentation systems supported include HTML, TeX, Troff, and
Word for Windows.

HOW TO VOTE:
Send email to: jjd@primenet.com
Your email message should contain one and only one of the following
statements:
I vote YES on comp.programming.literate
I vote NO on comp.programming.literate
You may also vote ABSTAIN or CANCEL. ABSTAIN does not affect the
final vote count in any way but is listed in the final voting results.
CANCEL removes any earlier vote and is not listed in the final voting
results.
VOTING PROCEDURE NOTES:
Standard Guidelines for voting apply. One account per person and one
vote per person. Votes must be mailed directly from the voter to the
votetaker. Anonymous, forwarded or proxy votes are not valid; this
includes votes generated by WWW/HTML/CGI forms.
Vote counting is automated: If you don't follow these directions then
your vote may not get counted. If you do not receive an
acknowledgment of your vote within several days, contact the votetaker
about the problem. It's your responsibility to make sure that your
vote is registered correctly. Duplicate votes are resolved in favor
of the most recent valid vote. Addresses and votes of all voters will
be published in the final voting results post.
The purpose of a Usenet vote is to determine the genuine interest in
people who would read a proposed newsgroup. Soliciting votes from
disinterested people defeats this purpose. Please do not redistribute
this CFV. If you must, direct people to the official CFV as posted to
news.announce.newgroups. Distributing pre-marked or otherwise edited
copies of this CFV will result in those votes being cancelled. When
in doubt, ask the votetaker.
