Intrinsics ( comp.windows.x.intrinsics )

From [email protected] Sun Apr  5 01:28:08 1992 Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,comp.windows.x,comp.windows.x.motif From: Rich Thomson <[email protected]> Subject: RFD:  comp.windows.x.intrinsics Followup-To: news.groups Organization: UUNET Communications Services Date: Sat, 4 Apr 1992 18:09:20 GMT  [Please note that followups are directed to news.groups]  There is an increasing amount of traffic in the newsgroup comp.windows.x. It is becoming increasingly harder to filter information according to one's interests.  Many proposals have gone by before about splitting comp.windows.x.  This proposal does not address a generic splitting of comp.windows.x into several groups, but does propose the creation of a new group to handle questions and threads relating to the Xt toolkit, also known as the Intrinsics.  Proposed name:		comp.windows.x.intrinsics Proposed status:	unmoderated  Commentary is directed to news.groups.  After the sufficient period of time, this RFD will be replaced with a call for votes on the creation of the new group, provided no significant objections are offered during the discussion period.  						-- Rich --  	Repeal the personal income tax; vote Libertarian in 1992.

This meets the Usenet requirements of at least 100 more yes votes than no votes with at least 2/3 of the total vote being yes votes.  One vote was received after the official voting period ended and was discounted.  Where possible, I identified multiple votes from the same person to eliminate duplicate votes.  Most of the "NO" votes expressed concern that the newsgroup be gated into a mailing list, in a similar fashion to the xpert/comp.windows.x gateway. However, the proposed charter of the group did not include such a gateway and I personally don't have the time to devote to creating such a gateway.  Should someone volunteer, I'm sure many of those who voted "NO" would be grateful.  Proposed Charter:      The new group will not be moderated.      This newsgroup will be for discussion of the Xt Intrinsics, often     referred to as the "X Toolkit".  The Intrinsics is an object-     oriented system for creating user interface components in the X     Window System.  This includes, but is not limited to:      o	questions about the Intrinsics      o	questions about writing custom widgets      Currently there is a newsgroup for discussion of the Motif widget     set, a set of user-interface components built on top of the Xt     Intrinsics.  It is expected that some questions will be of     relevance to both comp.windows.x.intrinsics and     comp.windows.x.motif.
