This topic is on and off discussed in comp.software-eng, but so are many other topics. Reading c.s-e because of interest in CM issues, I kill 90% of the articles in this  group.  CM is a very important art in the software engineering field, and definitely worth a group on its own. When you talk about CM you discuss both the procedures and the buearucracy as well as the tools you use to enforce your procedures.  The group would be unmoderated.  Looking at the current name space, comp.software.conf-mgmt seems like the best name. For us in the know c.s.cm would suffice, but tragically not every knows what CM is.  It is my hope that someone from of the group of voluntary vote takers is willing to handle this vote.  If there are groups that should be included in a 2nd RFD (if there is one) or the CFV, I'd would appreciate to know. --  Erland Sommarskog, [email protected], Stockholm Not spokesman for ENEA Data AB  From [email protected] Mon Feb 14 19:54:52 1994 Path: uunet!bounce-back From: [email protected] (Erland Sommarskog) Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,comp.software-eng Subject: 2nd RFD: comp.software.config-mgmt Followup-To: news.groups Date: 12 Feb 1994 00:32:11 -0500 Organization: Csillag Stars Lines: 35 Sender: [email protected] Approved: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> NNTP-Posting-Host: rodan.uu.net Xref: uunet news.announce.newgroups:4603 news.groups:95209 comp.software-eng:20296  This a request for discussion for creating a newsgroup devoted to configuration management (CM).

It is my hope that someone from of the group of voluntary vote takers is willing to handle this vote.  What is problematic with this group is the name. It's not problematic for the CM topic as such, but rather from the perspective of a long- term strategy for software-engineering newsgroups. In the previous discussion I comitted myself to comp.software-eng.config-mgmt, but I was discouraged by group-advice to pursue that line. The situation is that we have c.s-e and two comp.software.* groups. Whether there should be a comp.software.* hierarchy or a comp.software-eng.* hierarchy I don't have any strong opinion on, but I don't think there is a need for both. Comp.software.* might be the less pre- ferable choice, but it exists, so let's not confuse the issue even more.  A normal procedure when there are different opinions on the name is to take a straw poll. However, I find it completely inappropriate in this case, since what is the issue has nothing to do with CM as such. --  Erland Sommarskog, [email protected], Stockholm Not spokesman for ENEA Data AB  From [email protected] (RonDippold) Thu Feb 24 17:55:14 1994 Path: uunet!bounce-back From: [email protected] (Ron "Asbestos" Dippold) Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,comp.software-eng Subject: CFV: comp.software.config-mgmt Followup-To: poster Date: 24 Feb 1994 16:02:06 -0500 Organization: Usenet Volunteer Votetakers Lines: 48 Sender: [email protected] Approved: [email protected] Expires: 18 Mar 1994 00:00:00 GMT Message-ID: <[email protected]> References: <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] (Ron Dippold Voting Alias) NNTP-Posting-Host: rodan.uu.net Xref: uunet news.announce.newgroups:4680 news.groups:96501 comp.software-eng:20553  		     FIRST CALL FOR VOTES (of 2) 	     unmoderated group comp.software.config-mgmt  Newsgroups line: comp.software.config-mgmt	Configuration management, tools and procedures.
