UnixWare, misc. ( comp.unix.unixware.misc )

From [email protected] Tue Nov 29 13:39:44 1994 Path: uunet!bounce-back From: [email protected] (Evan Leibovitch) Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,comp.unix.unixware,comp.unix.sys5.r4,comp.unix.pc-clone.32bit,comp.sys.novell Subject: RFD: comp.unix.unixware reorganization Followup-To: news.groups Date: 29 Nov 1994 13:24:29 -0500 Organization: Sound Software Ltd., Brampton, Ontario Lines: 111 Sender: [email protected] Approved: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> NNTP-Posting-Host: rodan.uu.net Xref: uunet news.announce.newgroups:6003 news.groups:124989 comp.unix.unixware:16590 comp.unix.sys5.r4:9961 comp.unix.pc-clone.32bit:8535 comp.sys.novell:68464  	      ***** OFFICIAL REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD) ***** 			PLEASE READ COMPLETELY   PROPOSAL 1:		RENAME comp.unix.unixware to comp.unix.unixware.misc                         (maintain status as unmoderated)  PROPOSAL 2:		CREATE comp.unix.unixware.announce (moderated)  PROPOSER:		Evan Leibovitch ([email protected])  CROSS-POSTED:		news.announce.newsgroups 			news.groups 			comp.unix.unixware 			comp.unix.sys5.r4 			comp.unix.pc-clone.32bit 			comp.sys.novell   BACKGROUND:  Traffic in the existing comp.unix.unixware newsgroup has grown to the point where splitting it into multiple groups has been proposed and endorsed by those readers of the group who participated in a straw poll. Consensus followed that the first 'split' allow a new group to be created in which 'announcements' from users or vendors could be posted, free of side-discussions, in the manner of numerous "announce" newsgroups already existing in the comp.* namespace.   RATIONALE/CHARTER FOR comp.unix.unixware.announce:  To provide a low-noise forum for official announcements from Novell, users and third-parties supporting UnixWare products. Product announcements, listings of events and functions, official statements, availability of archives sites storing UnixWare binaries or documentation, price lists, press releases and position papers are all welcome. Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) files, including but not limited to the extensive UnixWare FAQ maintained by Jim Vlcek, are also welcome.  Creation of this group would make the existing UnixWare mailing list gateway easier to manage; it would make useful announcements easier to archive and/or allow different Usenet expiry times vis. the existing group.   RATIONALE FOR MODERATION OF comp.unix.unixware.announce:  It is intended that this group will be restricted to one-time-only announcements, without discussion. The moderation would merely enforce this simple policy, without being judgemental regarding content or source.  All articles posted to this group would include a header re-directing followup discussions of any kind to comp.unix.unixware. Articles will be encouraged to contain an "Archive-Name" header for the benefit of sites with automatic archiving software.  The proposed moderator is myself; Evan Leibovitch, creator of the original Univel mailing list and later the newsgroups biz,univel.misc comp.unix.unixware.  Why? Nobody else has come forward during initial discussions. I believe as a UnixWare VAR I ride a reasonable middle ground between Novell and end users, as to be not overly siding with one side or another. Indeed, it seems from this viewpoint that most of the traffic in the newsgroups so far has not been adversarial. I do not consider the moderation of this group to be at all controversial.   RATIONALE FOR RENAMING comp.unix.unixware TO comp.unix.unixware.misc:  While the original idea was simply to create a moderated .announce group, David Lawrence has suggested that it is preferable to rename the current group at the same time, thus maintaining a consistent namespace. This will make it easier to create further groups under a comp.unix.unixware.* hierarchy in the future should the need arise. It will also reduce cross-posting and simplify news-system administration.   PROCEDURE:  Discussion will take for 30 days from the date of this posting in news.groups. All discussion - both for and against - will take place in news.groups.  At the end of this time a call for votes (CFV) will be announced and voting procedures by a neutral third party described. The two issues, the renaming of comp.unix.unixware to comp.unix.unixware.misc and the creation of comp.unix.unixware.announce, will be voted on separately but described together in a single CFV posting.  What is the Process of Creating a Newsgroup? -------------------------------------------  ---->(a) RFD: Discussion, i.e., public hearing to take place  	 in the newsgroup news.groups for approximately 30 days)       (b) CFV: Call for votes (the voting period will be about 25 days)      (c) Counting of votes and public display of votes      (d) Announcement of new newsgroup  (a)-->(b)  assumes  no major disagreements about this newsgroup during discussion. (c)-->(d) assumes that the vote is favourable., i.e.,  		    Y > N+100 .and. Y > (2/3)(Y+N)  Y  being  the  number of YES votes, N being the number of NO votes for the creation of the proposed newsgroup.  Thank you.

CHARTERS and RATIONALES  CHARTER FOR comp.unix.unixware.announce:  This group is intended To provide a low-noise forum for official announcements from Novell, users and third-parties supporting UnixWare products.

Indeed, it seems from this viewpoint that most of the traffic in the newsgroups so far has not been adversarial. I do not consider the moderation of this group to be at all controversial.   CHARTER OF comp.unix.unixware.misc:  This will be almost identical to the original charter of the group comp.unix.unixware, which itself is derived from biz.univel.misc.  This is a general-purpose forum for discussion about products of Novell's Unix Systems Group, primarily its implementation of Unix for PC-architecture systems sold under the name UnixWare. Product announcements and advertisements are now discouraged; postings of this kind should use the new group comp.unix.unixware.announce.   RATIONALE FOR RENAMING comp.unix.unixware TO comp.unix.unixware.misc:  While the original idea was simply to create a moderated .announce group, David Lawrence has suggested that it is preferable to rename the current group at the same time, thus maintaining a consistent namespace. This will make it easier to create further groups under a comp.unix.unixware.* hierarchy in the future should the need arise. It will also reduce cross-posting and simplify news-system administration.  As comp.unix.unixware was gatewayed to the 'univel' mailing list, the comp.unix.unixware.misc will be, also once renamed.
