Proponents      : C. Vance ([email protected]) 		  D. Doermann ([email protected])   This is a formal Request For Discussion on the creation of the unmoderated newsgroups comp.text.analysis.char-recog and comp.text.analysis.misc.  This RFD has been posted in accordance with the Guidelines for Newsgroup Creation.  Its language is based on previously submitted RFDs.  The RFD is being cross-posted to the following relevant news groups:  	news.announce.newgroups 	news.groups 	comp.text 	sci.image.processing  And the following mailing list:  	[email protected] 	[email protected] (for server requests                                              including subscriptions)   CHARTERS  The comp.text.analysis.char-recog newsgroup will be open to discussion of commercial and public domain Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software, document image understanding topics directly related to OCR, and the development of new public domain OCR software.  Specific topics may include but are not limited to:  	* OCR Research and Development - preprocessing, segmentation,           feature extraction, classification, contextual aids, etc. 	* OCR/ICR software availability/suitability 	* Information on FTP, Gopher, WWW sites involving OCR 	* Discussion of hardware for OCR - scanners, digitizers, etc.  comp.text.analysis.misc would be appropriate for discussion of, but not limited to:   	* Document analysis in general  	* Page decomposition  	* On-line recognition  	* Graphics understanding  	* Signature Verification and Writer Identification  	* Information retrieval  	* Document imaging and management systems  RATIONALE  There has been traffic on various newsgroups requesting information on OCR, and related topics, but very little ``public'' discussion of these topics. Since there is no news group dedicated to our domain, it would be beneficial for a new group be created to allow for open discussion of these topics.  Several listservers are currently available for discussion of character recognition, document understanding and some related areas such as information retrieval, but many people have expressed an interest in using a newsgroup as a more convenient forum.  It would allow people to read messages at their convenience and still allow for timely feedback.  We have proposed the comp.text.analysis.* hierarchy to seperate groups which deal with the analysis of documents, from existing groups such as comp.text.interleaf, comp.text.tex, etc, which deal with the creation of documents.  It will also allow for expansion into other areas of interest within the document understanding domain such as imaging, graphics processing, page decomposition and on-line recognition.   MAILING LISTS 	[email protected]         (submissions) 	[email protected]   (server requests)   FUTURE CALL FOR VOTES  After a discussion period of 21-30 days, if there are no overwhelming objections to the proposed groups, there will be a Call For Votes (CFV) posted to the same groups as this RFD.  The voting period will be at least 21 days.  If the groups pass by receiving 100 more YES votes than NO votes, and (at least) twice as many YES votes as NO votes, they will be created. --  C.
