[Please note that followups are directed to news.groups]
There is a growing interest in fractals, mostly from inside the
computer graphics community. The newsgroup alt.fractals has been
around for quite a while with moderate to heavy traffic at times.
Fractals have grown from mathematical curiosities towards real-world
applications (chemical dynamics on 'fractal' interfaces, fractal image
compression, diffusion limited aggregates, etc.) as well as increasing
use in computer graphics (particle systems, L-systems, solid textures,
volume rendering of quarternion julia sets, etc.).
This RFD proposes the elimination of alt.fractals (or aliased as the
case may be) and the creation of comp.graphics.fractals. Other
possibilities could be sci.fractals, or sci.math.fractals, but the
bulk of the traffic in the existing fractals newsgroup deals with the
computer graphical aspect of the topic, so I am proposing that it go
under the comp.graphics hierarchy. By moving the group from the alt
hierarchy into the comp hierarchy, it is hoped that a wider audience
will be reached.
Proposed name: comp.graphics.fractals
Proposed status: unmoderated
Commentary is directed to news.groups.
After the sufficient period of time, this RFD will be replaced with a
call for votes on the creation of the new group, provided no
significant objections are offered during the discussion period.

Since the 30 day discussion period has expired, I am making the first
official call for votes for the following newsgroup:
sci.fractals Unmoderated
There is a growing interest in fractals, mostly from inside the
computer graphics community, but also from the mathematical and
scientific community. The newsgroup alt.fractals has been
around for quite a while with moderate to heavy traffic at times.

the alt hierarchy into the comp hierarchy, it is hoped that a wider audience
will be reached.
The only objection to the original RFD was the name. Of all the names
discussed, sci.fractals was considered to be the best one suggested.
The voting period will end in 30 days on September 11th. To cast your
vote, send me electronic mail with one of the following as the subject
of the message:
"sci.fractals: NO" To cast a NO vote
"sci.fractals: YES" To cast a YES vote
>From within most news readers you should be able to simply reply to
the sender of this message (rthomson@dsd.es.com) and change the subject
line appropriately.
DO NOT POST YOUR VOTE! POSTED VOTES WILL NOT BE COUNTED!!
After two weeks, a mass vote acknowledgement and a second call for
votes will be issued.

[Please note that followups are directed to news.groups]
The call for votes period has ended with a passing result for
sci.fractals Unmoderated
There were 295 yes votes and 20 no votes out of a total of 315 votes.
This meets the Usenet requirements of at least 100 more yes votes than
no votes with at least 2/3 of the total vote being yes votes. Where
possible, I identified multiple votes from the same person to
eliminate duplicate votes.
Of the "NO" votes received, the commentary was that there wasn't
enough traffic to warrant moving the group to the sci hierarchy from
the alt hierarchy. However, the move from alt to sci is intended to
increase traffic.
Proposed Charter:
The new group will not be moderated.
This newsgroup will be for discussion of fractals, which have been
defined as "objects of non-integral dimension". The concept ties
in closely with chaos, and indeed some chaotic attractors exhibit
a fractal structure. It is expected that discussions will range
over a wide variety of topics relating to fractals:
o the mundane Where can I find FRACTINT?
o the mathematical What is the true area of the Mandelbrot set?
o the practical What's all this about fractal compression?
o the scientific What's the "fractal dimension" of the Rockies?
While fractals were initially popularized by their representations
via computer graphics techniques, the interest in fractals beyond
the computer graphics and mathematical communities is growing.
Dana Scott, in his Elliot Organick Memorial Lecture at the University
of Utah in 1992, reported that the number of publications in the
past year alone with either the word "fractal" or "chaos" in the title
was over 4,000. This indicates a significant interest in these
subjects in the academic world.
Since this new group is intended to replace alt.fractals, I will call
for the removal of alt.fractals (or its aliasing) in favor of
sci.fractals after a sufficient amount of time (30 days) has passed
for most sites to start carrying sci.fractals.
