CHARTER

The comp.soft-sys.app-builder.appware newsgroup will serve the AppWare
developer community worldwide, and will be open for discussion to any
interested party. Discussion topics will include, but not be limited
to, capabilities and limitations of AppWare, cross-platform issues for
AppWare developers, and programming tips and techniques, especially as
they relate to AppWare as a visual programming language.

Other topics of discussion will include:

        - developing client-server systems
        - developing multimedia applications
        - developing network applications
        - designing and coding AppWare Loadable Modules (ALMs)
        - visual style guidelines
        - auditing and documenting AppWare projects
        - debugging
        - product updates and feature requests
        - and other topics

The discussions will be held in English. A FAQ is in development and
will be posted to the group on a monthly basis. Reasonable commercial
advertisements will be permitted as long as they are clearly marked as
such in the subject of the message.

RATIONALE

AppWare is a visual development environment for creating custom
applications for Macintosh and MS-Windows platforms. Applications are
built using icons which represent objects (data) and functions
(operations). The icons are connected by lines which represent
flow-of-control and thus determine the logic of an application. The icons
represent previously compiled code and thus is distinct from other
'visual' tools such as Visual Basic or Visual C++. At present there is no
dedicated newsgroup for the growing community of AppWare developers. The
comp.soft-sys.app-builder.appware newsgroup would provide a forum for
developers that currently number over 5,000 in the United States and with
another 1,000 outside the U.S.

HOW TO VOTE

Send MAIL to:   [email protected]
Just replying should work if you are not reading this on a mailing list.

It would be apprciated by the votetaker if you did NOT forward the entire
CFV back; this mail is archived and I really don't need several hundred
copies of the CFV on my system.

Your mail message should contain one of the following statements:
      I vote YES on comp.soft-sys.app-builder.appware
      I vote NO on comp.soft-sys.app-builder.appware

You may also 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 acknowledge-
ment by mail - if you do not receive one within several days, try again.
It is your responsibility to make sure your vote is registered correctly.

Only one vote per person, no more than one vote per account.  Addresses and
votes of all voters will be published in the final voting results list.
