[This is a proposal to create a newsgroup to discuss internationalization
of software. Much software- especially on the Internet- still can't
handle non-English text, let alone mixed language text. It's time to
have a newsgroup where people can talk about how to make software work
across language barriers. -dank]
[This proposal has already been floated in various forms on news.groups,
and we seem to be settling in on a name for the group. -dank]
The vote for comp.software.non-latin.east-asian was very close.
I bet many people voted NO because it had a narrow charter and awkward name.
I propose instead the new group comp.software.international.
CHARTER:
The unmoderated Usenet newsgroup comp.software.international will provide a
forum to discuss software that can handle 'international', i.e.
non-English, text. The encouraged topics will include
1) How to write, where to find, and how to use internationalized software
2) What hardware/operating systems support internationalized software,
(e.g. how do I do Asian word processing on MS-DOS/MacOS/MS-Windows-NT?
what hardware/operating systems are available in other countries?
what is DOS/V? How do I read a font from BIOS?)
3) How to work with international de jure and de facto standards for
representation of text, e.g. ASCII, JIS, Shift-JIS, Big5, EUC, GB2312,
KSC5601, ISO2022, ISO10646, and Unicode, and why some standards are
popular in some countries & not others.
4) How to process text in various languages (e.g. how do you strip
vowels from Hebrew to get the canonical spelling? How does one
sort Chinese? What is a locale file?)
DISCUSSION PERIOD: 25 Feb - 20 Mar
Please comment on whether we need this new newsgroup by posting followup
messages to news.groups.
At the end of this period, if there is enough interest, a call for votes
will be sent to the same groups this RFD was sent to.
WHY WE NEED THIS GROUP: There is a pressing need for modern software
to be able to handle multiple languages- the user community is now
international- and existing forums are not adequate:
ISO10646@jhuvm.hcf.jhu.edu, an unmoderated mailing list for discussing
multi-byte character sets; it suffers from being a mailing list rather
than a newsgroup. Perhaps it could be gatewayed to the new group
for the benefit of those without Usenet access.
bit.software.international, aka insoft-l@cis.vutbr.cz, a moderated mailing
list with a very similar charter. It has recently moved and changed name.
Status unclear.
comp.std.internat, an unmoderated newsgroup, discusses all manner of
standards, and doesn't have much trafic about internationalized software.
ietf-charsets@INNOSOFT.COM, an unmoderated mailing list for discussing how
applications on the Internet should represent plain text. It seems
to have a very small, quiet readership prone to the occasional screaming
fit :-)
RELATED RECENT PROPOALS:
comp.software.non-latin.east-asian recently failed its creation vote.
alt.chinese.computing was recently proposed, but I feel there is
enough of a need for international software that we should try to create a
less exclusive group.
comp.software.internat was proposed, but the name was considered confusing,
and comp.software.international was preferred.
comp.software.global was considered uninformative.
comp.software.i18n was preferred by those in the know, but is horribly
obscure.

HOW TO VOTE
Send MAIL to: votes@geoworks.com
Just Replying should work if you are not reading this on a mailing
list, and if your newsreader honors the "reply-to" line. Double-check
the address before sending your ballot.
Use the ballot provided at the end of this CFV. Put the word "YES" or
"NO" between the brackets before the group name. Trim your response to
just the ballot, but make sure to send the whole ballot (i.e.
everything between the "=-=-=" lines).
You may also use the word ABSTAIN in place of YES/NO - this will not
affect the outcome. Anything else may be rejected by the automatic
vote counting program. The votetaker will respond to your received
ballots with a personal acknowledgement by mail - if you do not
receive one within several days, try again. It's your responsibility
to make sure your vote is registered correctly.
Each person may vote only once, no matter how many accounts he or she
may have. Also, only one ballot will be accepted from any account, no
matter how many people may share it. If more than one vote is received
>from any person or any account, only the last vote received will be
counted.
Addresses and votes of all voters will be published in the final
voting results list. All ballots received are kept in the UVV archives
(including "cancelled" and invalid ballots). The vote files are made
available to the moderator of news.announce.newgroups on request. They
may also, at the discretion of the UVV, be made more widely available
if there is a controversy concerning the vote.
