To cast your vote, send email to "[email protected]", and be sure to clearly indicate whether you vote yes or no.  Preferably, yes votes should state "I vote yes for comp.windows.x.apps" and no votes should state "I vote no for comp.windows.x.apps" somewhere in the message.  	Votes are only counted if sent through email.  Posted votes are not valid.    	This call for votes will end April 29th, 1992.  Votes RECEIVED after 23:59 GMT of April 29th will not be counted.  At the end of the  voting period I will talley the yes and no votes and post a summary.  	Creation of the newsgroup at the end of the voting period depends upon the following conditions :  > AFTER the waiting period, and if there were no serious objections that might >   invalidate the vote, and if 100 more valid YES/create votes are received >   than NO/don't create AND at least 2/3 of the total number of valid votes >   received are in favor of creation, a newgroup control message may be sent >   out.

Its main purpose would be to facilitate the finding of specific X Window applications (such as ftp sites for those applications which are in the public-domain), to discuss which application is best suited to particular situations, to provide a medium where one can review applications, and to provide a place where functional questions can be asked about X Window programs.       The newsgroup would cover all forms of X applications, regardless of the widget set(s) used or the program's function.       The newsgroup would not be intended for Xlib or widget programming discussion, but would encourage discussion of application compilation or modifications, provided they are not more suited to an Xlib or widget question.  --------------------------- END CHARTER ---------------------------------- --   ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Michael Moore ([email protected])  Phone : (801) 359-6552     | |          University of Utah, Computer Science Department             |  ----------------------------------------------------------------------  From [email protected] Tue May  5 12:08:01 1992 Xref: uunet news.announce.newgroups:2295 news.groups:50338 comp.windows.x:52765 comp.windows.x.pex:298 comp.windows.x.motif:9486 Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,comp.windows.x,comp.windows.x.pex,comp.windows.x.motif Path: uunet!bounce-back From: [email protected] (Michael Moore) Subject: RESULT:  comp.windows.x.apps passes 235: 22 Message-ID: <[email protected]> Followup-To: news.groups Sender: [email protected] (David C Lawrence) Organization: University of Utah, CS Dept., Salt Lake City Date: Tue, 5 May 1992 15:58:09 GMT Approved: [email protected] Lines: 293  Newsgroup : Comp.windows.x.apps.

Name : comp.windows.x.apps Non-Moderated  Proposed Charter : ------------------       This newsgroup would be for the discussion of X Windows applications, both public-domain and commercial (where appropriate). Its main purpose would be to facilitate the finding of specific X Window applications (such as ftp sites for those applications which are in the public-domain), to discuss which application is best suited to particular situations, to provide a medium where one can review applications, and to provide a place where functional questions can be asked about X Window programs.       The newsgroup would cover all forms of X applications, regardless of the widget set(s) used or the program's function.       The newsgroup would not be intended for Xlib or widget programming discussion, but would encourage discussion of application compilation or modifications, provided they are not more suited to an Xlib or widget question.   Reasons for Group's Creation :  ----------------------------      There are an enormous amount of applications out there in the public domain alone.  Commercial programs are likely even more numerous.  For this reason this news group is proposed - to facilitate questions and problems with the programs out there.  Many problems and questions are common, and the chances that someone out there has already encountered a particular one are very good.       Comp.windows.x is becomming increasingly more trafficed, and it becomes harder and harder to spend the time needed to read through all the articles.  It would be beneficial if the purely programming problems could be left more isolated.  This new group would help to do this.       Also related to the heavy traffic comp.windows.x currently recieves, posters are less likely to have someone read their particular posting amid the vast quantity of articles posted.  This would provide a place where they have a much better chance of being heard by those most likely able to help.  	-Michael       ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Michael Moore ([email protected])  Phone : (801) 359-6552     | |          University of Utah, Computer Science Department             |  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
