This is a formal Request For Discussion regarding the establishment of
a newsgroup to deal with graphic source written in the PostScript
language.
This announcement is cross-posted to newsgroups whose readers may have
interest in the discussion about the new group; follow-up discussion
will take place in "news.groups". Suggestions, comments, and problems
may also be emailed to me at <jgm@cs.brown.edu>.
REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION
----------------------
NEWSGROUP
comp.sources.postscript (moderated)
PURPOSE
A sources group where PostScript programs of generally useful
graphic images and utilities can be posted.
RATIONALE
Use of graphics is very popular in document-making, and a
great deal of effort is spent in creating PostScript graphics.
There is no general forum to share or request these graphics.
A share space is also needed for utilities and example code
for PostScript programmers. Comp.lang.postscript is a discussion
newsgroup, and people rightly refrain from posting source code
there because it would increase the non-discussion aspects of the group
to the point that many PostScript non-programmers would not read it.
CONTENT
Source code written in the PostScript language would be appropriate.
Except for fonts, programs in other languages would not be, even if
they produce PostScript.
Clip Art: Hand-made PostScript programs, converted binaries,
or the machine generated output from a drawing tools,
representing a graphical image meant to be included in
documents. (Other art would usually be fine.)
Utilities: Hand-made PostScript programs either demonstrating or
facilitating use of the PostScript graphics language.
"How-to" examples would be encouraged.
Fonts: Fonts that can be used with the PostScript language.
The focus should be on generally useful programs or art. Specific
information, such as a new weathermap in PostScript posted daily, is
more like a binary than a source, and would not be appropriate.
Text documents formatted in PostScript would not be appropriate.
EPS conversion, DSC conformance, and commented code would be
facilitated and encouraged, but not required.
NAME
"comp.sources.postscript" follows other comp.sources.* groups.
MODERATED
Comp.sources.postscript should be moderated to limit noise,
and to increase the ease of archiving and retrieving source code.
Comp.sources.* groups are usually moderated.
MODERATOR
Jonathan Monsarrat (jgm@cs.brown.edu) is an experienced PostScript
programmer. He maintains the comp.lang.postscript FAQ.
He is currently the only volunteer.
NEWSGROUP CREATION
The discussion period will begin when posted and end on December 24th.
Please post all discussion to news.groups.
If a consensus is reached by the end of the discussion period,
a CFV (Call for Votes) will be posted at that time. The voting
period would last for 30 days.
I am looking for a volunteer to handle vote-taking (if a CFV occurs),
because I am biased in favor of creation of the newsgroup.

NEWSGROUP
comp.sources.postscript (moderated)
PURPOSE
A sources group where PostScript programs of generally useful
graphic images and PostScript-related utilities can be posted.
VOTING PERIOD
FROM 00:01 GMT, Saturday, January 9th, 1993.
TO 23:59 GMT, Saturday, February 6th, 1993.
HOW TO VOTE
To vote on comp.sources.postscript, send your vote to:
tjc50@juts.ccc.amdahl.com
In the body or subject header (preferably the subject header),
include one of the following:
I vote YES on creation of comp.sources.postscript as proposed.
I vote NO on creation of comp.sources.postscript as proposed.
RATIONALE
Use of graphics is very popular in document-making, and a

RESULTS OF DISCUSSION
The RFD for this group was originated by Jonathan Monsarrat
(jgm@cs.brown.edu) and was posted to news.announce.newgroups
on December 1, 1992.
Discussion in news.groups and comp.lang.postscript has been
positive. The charter has been changed to reflect the consensus
that source not written in PostScript may be included if it is
strongly connected with PostScript (see below).
CONTENT
Source code written in the PostScript language would be appropriate.
Fonts and programs in other languages that involve PostScript
directly and heavily would be appropriate also.
Clip Art: Hand-made PostScript programs, converted binaries,
or the machine generated output from a drawing tools,
representing a graphical image meant to be included in
documents. (Other art would usually be fine.)
Utilities: Hand-made PostScript programs either demonstrating or

VOTING RULES
One vote per person. If you vote more than once, the votes will
be counted as a single vote. If the votes are in conflict, all
votes will be discarded. If you wish to change your vote, please
send a message to me with a subject line of either of the following:
Vote Change: I vote YES on creation of comp.sources.postscript as proposed.
Vote Change: I vote NO on creation of comp.sources.postscript as proposed.
Votes posted to any newsgroup will NOT be counted.
According to the Usenet rules, in order for the new group to be
created, at least 2/3 of the votes must be "YES", and there must
be at least 100 more "YES" votes than "NO" votes.
AMBIGUOUS VOTE RESOLUTION
Ambiguous votes -- those whose subject lines or message body do
not make clear the voter's intent -- will, where possible, be
returned to their senders for clarification. Ambiguous votes
which cannot be returned to their senders or for which no
clarification is provided will be identified in vote mass
acknowledgements and in the final vote tally.

This is the 3rd and final Call For Votes regarding the establishment
of a newsgroup to deal with graphic source written in the PostScript
language.
This announcement is cross-posted to newsgroups whose readers may have
interest in voting on the new group.
At the end of this posting is a mass acknowledgement of the votes
received so far, as of Thursday, January 28 at 19:00 PST. If your
internet address is listed below, your vote has already been counted;
please do not vote a second time.
CALL FOR VOTES
--------------
NEWSGROUP
comp.sources.postscript (moderated)
PURPOSE
A sources group where PostScript programs of generally useful
graphic images and PostScript-related utilities can be posted.
VOTING PERIOD
FROM 00:01 GMT, Saturday, January 9th, 1993.
TO 23:59 GMT, Saturday, February 6th, 1993.
HOW TO VOTE
To vote on comp.sources.postscript, send your vote to:
tjc50@juts.ccc.amdahl.com
In the body or subject header (preferably the subject header),
include one of the following:
I vote YES on creation of comp.sources.postscript as proposed.
I vote NO on creation of comp.sources.postscript as proposed.
RATIONALE
Use of graphics is very popular in document-making, and a
great deal of effort is spent in creating PostScript graphics.
There is no general forum to share or request these graphics.
A share space is also needed for utilities and example code
for PostScript programmers. Comp.lang.postscript is a discussion
newsgroup, and people rightly refrain from posting source code
there because it would increase the non-discussion aspects of the group
to the point that many PostScript non-programmers would not read it.
RESULTS OF DISCUSSION
The RFD for this group was originated by Jonathan Monsarrat
(jgm@cs.brown.edu) and was posted to news.announce.newgroups
on December 1, 1992.
Discussion in news.groups and comp.lang.postscript has been
positive. The charter has been changed to reflect the consensus
that source not written in PostScript may be included if it is
strongly connected with PostScript (see below).
CONTENT
Source code written in the PostScript language would be appropriate.
Fonts and programs in other languages that involve PostScript
directly and heavily would be appropriate also.
Clip Art: Hand-made PostScript programs, converted binaries,
or the machine generated output from a drawing tools,
representing a graphical image meant to be included in
documents. (Other art would usually be fine.)
Utilities: Hand-made PostScript programs either demonstrating or
facilitating use of the PostScript graphics language.
This would include PostScript generating programs and
other tools not written in PostScript.
Examples: "How-to" examples would be encouraged.
Fonts: Fonts that can be used with the PostScript language.
The focus will be on generally useful programs or art. Specific
information, such as a new weathermap in PostScript posted daily, is
more like a binary than a source, and would not be appropriate.
Text documents formatted in PostScript would not be appropriate.
EPS conversion, DSC conformance, and commented code would be
facilitated and encouraged, but not required.
NAME
"comp.sources.postscript" follows other comp.sources.* groups.
MODERATED
Comp.sources.postscript will be moderated to limit noise,
and to increase the ease of archiving and retrieving source code.
Comp.sources.* groups are usually moderated.
MODERATOR
Jonathan Monsarrat (jgm@cs.brown.edu) is an experienced PostScript
programmer. He maintains the comp.lang.postscript FAQ.
He is currently the only volunteer.
VOTING RULES
One vote per person. If you vote more than once, the votes will
be counted as a single vote. If the votes are in conflict, all
votes will be discarded. If you wish to change your vote, please
send a message to me with a subject line of either of the following:
Vote Change: I vote YES on creation of comp.sources.postscript as proposed.
Vote Change: I vote NO on creation of comp.sources.postscript as proposed.
Votes posted to any newsgroup will NOT be counted.
According to the Usenet rules, in order for the new group to be
created, at least 2/3 of the votes must be "YES", and there must
be at least 100 more "YES" votes than "NO" votes.
AMBIGUOUS VOTE RESOLUTION
Ambiguous votes -- those whose subject lines or message body do
not make clear the voter's intent -- will, where possible, be
returned to their senders for clarification. Ambiguous votes
which cannot be returned to their senders or for which no
clarification is provided will be identified in vote mass
acknowledgements and in the final vote tally.

Here is a recap of the comp.sources.postscript charter:
NEWSGROUP
comp.sources.postscript (moderated)
PURPOSE
A sources group where PostScript programs of generally useful
graphic images and PostScript-related utilities can be posted.
RATIONALE
Use of graphics is very popular in document-making, and a
great deal of effort is spent in creating PostScript graphics.
There is no general forum to share or request these graphics.
A share space is also needed for utilities and example code
for PostScript programmers. Comp.lang.postscript is a discussion
newsgroup, and people rightly refrain from posting source code
there because it would increase the non-discussion aspects of the group
to the point that many PostScript non-programmers would not read it.
RESULTS OF DISCUSSION
The RFD for this group was originated by Jonathan Monsarrat
(jgm@cs.brown.edu) and was posted to news.announce.newgroups
on December 1, 1992.
Discussion in news.groups and comp.lang.postscript has been
positive. The charter has been changed to reflect the consensus
that source not written in PostScript may be included if it is
strongly connected with PostScript (see below).
CONTENT
Source code written in the PostScript language would be appropriate.
Fonts and programs in other languages that involve PostScript
directly and heavily would be appropriate also.
Clip Art: Hand-made PostScript programs, converted binaries,
or the machine generated output from a drawing tools,
representing a graphical image meant to be included in
documents. (Other art would usually be fine.)
Utilities: Hand-made PostScript programs either demonstrating or
facilitating use of the PostScript graphics language.
This would include PostScript generating programs and
other tools not written in PostScript.
Examples: "How-to" examples would be encouraged.
Fonts: Fonts that can be used with the PostScript language.
The focus will be on generally useful programs or art. Specific
information, such as a new weathermap in PostScript posted daily, is
more like a binary than a source, and would not be appropriate.
Text documents formatted in PostScript would not be appropriate.
EPS conversion, DSC conformance, and commented code would be
facilitated and encouraged, but not required.
NAME
"comp.sources.postscript" follows other comp.sources.* groups.
MODERATED
Comp.sources.postscript will be moderated to limit noise,
and to increase the ease of archiving and retrieving source code.
Comp.sources.* groups are usually moderated.
MODERATOR
Jonathan Monsarrat (jgm@cs.brown.edu) is an experienced PostScript
programmer. He maintains the comp.lang.postscript FAQ.
He is currently the only volunteer.
