Sipples) Subject: RFD:  comp.os.os2.{networking|advocacy} Followup-To: news.groups Sender: [email protected] Nntp-Posting-Host: cs.rpi.edu Organization: Dept. of Econ., Univ. of Chicago Date: Thu, 5 Mar 1992 05:56:32 GMT Approved: [email protected] Lines: 42  This is a formal request for discussion on the reorganization of the OS/2 newsgroups (in the comp.os.os2.* hierarchy).  With the anticipated release of OS/2 2.0 on or before March 31, the already heavy traffic in the OS/2 newsgroups is bound to grow even more.  After informal discussion in comp.os.os2.misc I'm issuing this formal request for discussion.  The proposed changes are as follows:  (1) Delete comp.os.os2.  This newsgroup is a vestige of the previous reorganization.  It is still present on many (if not all) sites, but it has already been supplanted by comp.os.os2.misc.  (2) Add comp.os.os2.networking.  This unmoderated newsgroup will provide a forum for all OS/2 networking issues, including Novell, TCP/IP, Lan Manager, Lan Server, peer-to-peer, DEC Pathworks, and so forth.  It will also cover OS/2 compatible network adapters, OS/2 network drivers, and running DOS/Windows networking environments under OS/2 2.0.  (3) Add comp.os.os2.advocacy.  This unmoderated newsgroup will be similar in purpose and character to the comp.sys.amiga.advocacy newsgroup, except that it will cover OS/2 opinions, comparisons with other products, flames, future directions, and advocacy.  The two new groups will complement the existing comp.os.os2.misc, comp.os.os2.programmer, and comp.os.os2.apps.  The last group will expand to include discussion of DOS/Windows applications running under OS/2 2.0 (in addition to discussion of OS/2-specific applications), at least for the time being.  Note that further reorganization of the OS/2 hierarchy is under informal discussion in comp.os.os2.misc. However, this limited reorganization does not preclude future changes.  If you have any questions (but do not wish to post a public message during the formal discussion period), please send them to [email protected] --  Timothy F.
