Introduction ------------ The need for a reorganization of COMP.OS.MS-WINDOWS.APPS has become apparent recently, as users in the newsgroup (including myself) have complained aloud at the increasing traffic on the numerous applications available for the MS-Windows operating environment. In March, 1993, the Software Publishers Association  reported that Windows applications outsold DOS applications for  the first time in history. Since it has become all but impossible to buy a PC nowadays without a copy of MS-Windows on it, and with the upcoming release of Windows 4.0, MS-Windows appears to be an operating environment that is stable, widely-accepted, and here to stay.  This newsgroup has an enormous amount of traffic and is consistently ranked in the top 100 or so newsgroups for traffic and popularity. Finding topics on the applications one is personally interested in has become all but impossible.   This serves as the formal Request for Discussion (RFD) on the reorganization of comp.os.ms-windows.apps. -------------------------------------------------------------- General Charter to be included for all new proposed groups:  Discussion on each proposed group will be limited to topics on the MS-Windows applications that fall under that group's  specific subject area.  For instance, only word-processing  applications specific to the MS-Windows operating environment  would be discussed in the proposed newsgroup,         comp.os.ms-windows.apps.word-proc Applications not falling under any of the proposed groups, or whose proposed groups do not pass their individual creation votes, can be discussed in the proposed renamed group,        comp.os.ms-windows.apps.misc  Discussion may be on commercial or non-commercial software.  Discussion may include, but is no means limited to: questions, answers, reviews, comments, useability comparisons, personal experiences, problem-solving, etc. on any MS-Windows application that falls within that group's subject area. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Proposed Renaming: ----------------- comp.os.ms-windows.apps -> comp.os.ms-windows.apps.misc (unmoderated)  Charter: This newsgroup will take the place of the current          catch-all newsgroup for topics related to various          MS-Windows application discussions that do not fall          into any of the proposed groups below (eg.-          multimedia applications, Quicken, Mathematica);           and for the discussion of any MS-Windows applications for          the below proposed new newsgroups which do not pass a final          vote. Discussion on the Windows operating environment          itself (eg.- new versions) should take place on           comp.os.ms-windows.misc, not on this group.            It is also proposed that comp.os.ms-windows.apps          be removed after a 3-month period (to give people          time to switch over) if the proposed group passes.  Specific Charters on New Groups Proposed: ---------------------------------------- Name: comp.os.ms-windows.apps.word-proc (unmoderated)  Description: Discussion on MS-Windows word-processing applications.  Charter: The subject area for this group is word-processing          applications. Any discussion related to questions          or comments on MS-Windows word-processing software          would be appropriate here. AmiPro, Word for Windows,          WordPerfect for Windows, etc. are software           topics appropriate for this group.          The General Charter is also included here. --------- Name: comp.os.ms-windows.apps.spreadsheet (unmoderated)  Description: Discussion on MS-Windows spreadsheet applications.  Charter: The subject area for this group is spreadsheet          applications. Any discussion related to questions          or comments on MS-Windows spreadsheet software          would be appropriate here. Excel, Quattro Pro,          Lotus 1-2-3, etc. are examples of software           topics appropriate for this group.          The General Charter is also included here. --------- Name: comp.os.ms-windows.apps.comm (unmoderated)  Description: Discussion on MS-Windows communication applications.  Charter: The subject area for this group is communication          applications. Any discussion related to questions          or comments on MS-Windows communications software          would be appropriate here. WinCIM, Procomm+ for          Windows, Winfax Pro, etc. are examples of software          topics appropriate for this group.           The General Charter is also included here. --------- Name: comp.os.ms-windows.apps.utilities (unmoderated)  Description: Discussion on MS-Windows utilities.  Charter: The subject area for this group is utilities for          MS-Windows. Such add-ons as PC-Tools for Windows,          HP's Dashboard, Norton Desktop for Windows, XtGold          for Windows, Afterdark, etc. are examples          of software topics appropriate for this group.           The General Charter is also included here. --------- Name: comp.os.ms-windows.apps.networking (unmoderated)  Description: Discussion of MS-Windows networking applications.  Charter: The subject area for this group is networking          applications. Any discussion related to questions          or comments on MS-Windows networking software          would be appropriate here. Lantastic, Netware,          Windows for Workgroups, etc.          are examples of software topics appropriate for          this group.          The General Charter is also included here. --------- Name: comp.os.ms-windows.apps.graphics (unmoderated)  Description: Discussion of MS-Windows graphics & CAD applications.  Charter: The subject area for this group is graphics          presentation and CAD applications. Any discussion          related to questions or comments on MS-Windows          graphics presentation and CAD software would          be appropriate here. AutoCAD, Corel Draw,          Harvard Graphics, etc. are examples of software          topics appropriate for this group.          The General Charter is also included here. --------- Purposely left out of RFD:  Databases . . . . Covered already by the comp.databases.* hierarchy PIMs . . . . . .  Not enough traffic to warrant own group (.01%) Financial . . . . Not enough traffic to warrant own group (.87%) Programming . . . Covered already by comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.*  Percentages were computed from a 2 month survey of subjects on comp.os.ms-windows.apps. ---------  Summary ------- By renaming the current group and adding 6 more newsgroups to the hierarchy, comp.os.ms-windows.apps will be made more easily readable in the near future. The reorganization of comp.os.ms-windows.apps has been overdue and this proposal has taken pains to be as simple and as logical as possible.  Why not comp.os.ms-windows.excel, *.word, *.xtree, *.pc-tools, etc.?  The alternative reorganization plan would create a newsgroup for each "major" application that exists on the market today. A reorganization plan that goes by specific application names  is much more uncertain & difficult, because those names are  subject to change as software companies get eaten up (and the name of their product changes), reorganize themselves, or dump products in favor of following other avenues.  Also, what constitutes a "major" (as opposed to minor or hardly used) application would have to be argued; shareware and freeware applications would also have to be equally represented. And what is popular today certainly may not even exist 5 years  >from now. Upkeep and maintenance of the hierarchy would have to be done routinely, which is an unlikely prospect. Last, if something like *.amipro doesn't pass, Amipro users are left discussing their word processor only in *.misc again.   If such a reorganization scheme is used, where do questions such as,  "What's the best Windows word-processor/spreadsheet/etc.?" fall  under? Do they have to crosspost to all the word-processor groups,  or just *.misc? If they do the latter, a large pros & cons  discussion on what is *the* best word processor would then ensue  on *.misc, which would make such an reorganization  effectively useless.  -------------------------------------  Notes on this RFD ----------------- This RFD is being posted on March 10, 1994 to the following groups:               news.groups               news.announce.newgroups               comp.os.ms-windows.apps               comp.os.ms-windows.misc               comp.os.ms-windows.announce               comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.misc  and may be freely distributed to any other groups or mailing lists where it might be of relevance.

CHARTERS  General Charter to be included for all new proposed groups:           Discussion on each proposed group will be limited to topics         on the MS-Windows applications that fall under that group's          specific subject area.  For instance, only word-processing          applications specific to the MS-Windows operating environment          would be discussed in the proposed newsgroup,                 comp.os.ms-windows.apps.word-proc         Applications not falling under any of the proposed groups,         or whose proposed groups do not pass their individual creation         votes, can be discussed in the proposed renamed group,                comp.os.ms-windows.apps.misc          Discussion may be on commercial or non-commercial software.          Discussion may include, but is no means limited to:         questions, answers, reviews, comments, useability comparisons,         personal experiences, problem-solving, etc. on any         MS-Windows application that falls within that group's subject area.  comp.os.ms-windows.apps.misc (unmoderated) (proposed to replace comp.os.ms-windows.apps)          This newsgroup will take the place of the current         catch-all newsgroup for topics related to various         MS-Windows application discussions that do not fall         into any of the proposed groups below (eg.-         multimedia applications, Quicken, Mathematica);          and for the discussion of any MS-Windows applications for         the below proposed new newsgroups which do not pass a final         vote. Discussion on the Windows operating environment         itself (eg.- new versions) should take place on          comp.os.ms-windows.misc, not on this group.           It is also proposed that comp.os.ms-windows.apps         be removed after a 3-month period (to give people         time to switch over) if the proposed group passes.  comp.os.ms-windows.apps.word-proc (unmoderated)          The subject area for this group is word-processing         applications. Any discussion related to questions         or comments on MS-Windows word-processing software         would be appropriate here. AmiPro, Word for Windows,         WordPerfect for Windows, etc. are software          topics appropriate for this group.         The General Charter is also included here.  comp.os.ms-windows.apps.comm (unmoderated)          The subject area for this group is communication         applications. Any discussion related to questions         or comments on MS-Windows communications software         would be appropriate here.

The General Charter is also included here.  comp.os.ms-windows.apps.utilities (unmoderated)          The subject area for this group is utilities for         MS-Windows. Such add-ons as PC-Tools for Windows,         HP's Dashboard, Norton Desktop for Windows, XtGold         for Windows, Afterdark, etc. are examples         of software topics appropriate for this group.
