Please note that this is *not* a call for votes.  After one month's discussion period, a call for votes will be issued. Please make sure that your discussion is directed to news.groups.   PROPOSED NAME:    comp.os.msdos.pcgeos   PROPOSED CHARTER:    To discuss and share information about:      - GeoWorks PC/GEOS and PC/GEOS-based products, including       but not limited to Ensemble, Pro, Personal Office System,       and the PC/GEOS software development kit.                          - Other software that operates within the PC/GEOS       environment.      - Hardware/software compatibilities and incompatibilities       pertaining to PC/GEOS.         - Software development for the PC/GEOS environment.   PROPOSED STATUS:  Unmoderated   RATIONALE:     Subject   -------   PC/GEOS is an award-winning graphical environment for MSDOS-based   personal computers.  It's origins are in the Berkeley SoftWorks   (now called GeoWorks) GEOS products for Apple and Commodore computers.     PC/GEOS provides a Motif-like window environment and a true multitasking   multithreaded kernel.  Unlike Microsoft Windows, PC/GEOS will run on   as little as 512KB of memory, 3MB of disk space, MSDOS 2.0, a Hercules   video adapter, and an 8088 processor.    PC/GEOS fills a substantial niche by providing a windowing environment   for those MSDOS-based computers which have limited capacity or performance   (such as PC/XT's and low-end laptops, notebooks, and PC/AT's) that have   been abandoned by the resource demands of Microsoft Windows and OS/2.      The GeoWorks Ensemble product integrates a set of productivity with   the PC/GEOS operating environment.  In the GeoWorks Pro product,   Borland's Quattro SE product is also integrated into the PC/GEOS   environment.  The Personal Office System products are specific   productivity tools.  Release of a software development kit is   expected in 1992.    Interest   --------   In December of 1991, a mailing list was created for discussion of the   GeoWorks Ensemble product.  In only one month of operation, the list   has grown to include over 90 subscribers from 10 countries.    Newsgroup name   --------------   Several names have been considered.  They are discussed below, along with   a recommendation.    *.geoworks:      Too vendor-specific.  The charter includes discussion of software produced     by individuals and companies outside of the GeoWorks company.    *.geos:      Could be confused with the Apple and/or Commodore GEOS products.  The     charter limits discussion to the PC/GEOS environment.    *.ensemble:      Too product-specific.  The charter includes discussion of other GeoWorks     products (such as Pro) and non-GeoWorks products.    *.pcgeos:      This is proposed as the best choice.  It adequately describes the      intended environment, does not preclude new product package names     from GeoWorks, and does not disclude non-GeoWorks products (any more     than "*.msdos.*" discludes non-Microsoft products).    Location in the newsgroup hierarchy   -----------------------------------   Several locations have been considered.  They are discussed below, along with   a recommendation.    comp.windows.pcgeos:      This is consistent with comp.windows.ms and comp.windows.ms.programmer.     However, PC/GEOS is more than a window system, and the proposed charter     of the newsgroup includes discussion of the kernel and applications in     addition to the window system itself.     comp.os.pcgeos:      Even though PC/GEOS requires MSDOS underneath, it acts more like a     complete operating system than an operating environment on top of MSDOS.     Nonetheless, all of the other comp.os.* groups are standalone operating     systems, and so PC/GEOS should probably not be located at this level.     comp.os.msdos.pcgeos:      This is proposed as the best choice.  It is consistent with the     existing newsgroup comp.os.msdos.desqview.

The only discussion I've seen has been a suggestion that the newsgroup   be named "comp.os.msdos.geos", because the "pc" in "comp.os.msdos.pcgeos"   was seen as being redundant.    The only other comments I've received have been requests for information   about subscription to the pcgeos mailing.

The proposal for this newsgroup has been under discussion since January 6 1992, and nearly all comments have been favorable.  A number of people suggested that the "pc" part of the proposed newsgroup name was redundant in the context of "comp.os.msdos", but since the product name is "PC/GEOS" and not simply "GEOS", the proposed name stands.  In fact, there are no changes from the original proposal.

PROPOSED NAME:    comp.os.msdos.pcgeos   PROPOSED CHARTER:    To discuss and share information about:      - GeoWorks PC/GEOS and PC/GEOS-based products, including       but not limited to Ensemble, Pro, Personal Office System,       and the PC/GEOS software development kit.                          - Other software that operates within the PC/GEOS       environment.      - Hardware/software compatibilities and incompatibilities       pertaining to PC/GEOS.         - Software development for the PC/GEOS environment.   PROPOSED STATUS:  Unmoderated   RATIONALE:     Subject   -------   PC/GEOS is an award-winning graphical environment for MSDOS-based   personal computers.  It's origins are in the Berkeley SoftWorks   (now called GeoWorks) GEOS products for Apple and Commodore computers.     PC/GEOS provides a Motif-like window environment and a true multitasking   multithreaded kernel.  Unlike Microsoft Windows, PC/GEOS will run on   as little as 512KB of memory, 3MB of disk space, MSDOS 2.0, a Hercules   video adapter, and an 8088 processor.    PC/GEOS fills a substantial niche by providing a windowing environment   for those MSDOS-based computers which have limited capacity or performance   (such as PC/XT's and low-end laptops, notebooks, and PC/AT's) that have   been abandoned by the resource demands of Microsoft Windows and OS/2.      The GeoWorks Ensemble product integrates a set of productivity with   the PC/GEOS operating environment.  In the GeoWorks Pro product,   Borland's Quattro SE product is also integrated into the PC/GEOS   environment.  The Personal Office System products are specific   productivity tools.  Release of a software development kit is   expected in 1992.    Interest   --------   In December of 1991, a mailing list was created for discussion of the   GeoWorks Ensemble product.  In only one month of operation, the list   has grown to include over 90 subscribers from 10 countries.    Newsgroup name   --------------   Several names have been considered.  They are discussed below, along with   a recommendation.    *.geoworks:      Too vendor-specific.  The charter includes discussion of software produced     by individuals and companies outside of the GeoWorks company.    *.geos:      Could be confused with the Apple and/or Commodore GEOS products.  The     charter limits discussion to the PC/GEOS environment.    *.ensemble:      Too product-specific.  The charter includes discussion of other GeoWorks     products (such as Pro) and non-GeoWorks products.    *.pcgeos:      This is proposed as the best choice.  It adequately describes the      intended environment, does not preclude new product package names     from GeoWorks, and does not disclude non-GeoWorks products (any more     than "*.msdos.*" discludes non-Microsoft products).    Location in the newsgroup hierarchy   -----------------------------------   Several locations have been considered.  They are discussed below, along with   a recommendation.    comp.windows.pcgeos:      This is consistent with comp.windows.ms and comp.windows.ms.programmer.     However, PC/GEOS is more than a window system, and the proposed charter     of the newsgroup includes discussion of the kernel and applications in     addition to the window system itself.     comp.os.pcgeos:      Even though PC/GEOS requires MSDOS underneath, it acts more like a     complete operating system than an operating environment on top of MSDOS.     Nonetheless, all of the other comp.os.* groups are standalone operating     systems, and so PC/GEOS should probably not be located at this level.     comp.os.msdos.pcgeos:      This is proposed as the best choice.  It is consistent with the     existing newsgroup comp.os.msdos.desqview.

The only discussion I've seen has been a suggestion that the newsgroup   be named "comp.os.msdos.geos", because the "pc" in "comp.os.msdos.pcgeos"   was seen as being redundant.    The only other comments I've received have been requests for information   about subscription to the pcgeos mailing.

The proposal for this newsgroup has been under discussion since January 6 1992, and nearly all comments have been favorable.  A number of people suggested that the "pc" part of the proposed newsgroup name was redundant in the context of "comp.os.msdos", but since the product name is "PC/GEOS" and not simply "GEOS", the proposed name stands.  In fact, there are no changes from the original proposal.
