The purpose of this group will be to exchange information and ideas regarding the use, design and development of the World Wide Web, and the information in the Web.  World Wide Web is an information system which is hypertext based.  It will currently interface with both WAIS and gopher systems.  Future plans include a move toward the use of MIME documents.  There are a number of applications already in place for using this information system.  The discussion period will last until March 15, 1993.  The discussion takes place in news.groups, which is where follow-ups to this article will go.  The purpose of the discussion is to agree on the charter of the group, its name, and other exciting details.  Please do not send votes; if the discussion so indicates, a separate call for votes will be issued. --  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Thomas A.

Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC, 30 May 1994.  After this CFV appears on news.announce.newgroups, the proponent will submit it to the Mosaic What's New page  , maintainer address <[email protected]>.  This vote is being conducted by a neutral third party.  For voting questions only contact [email protected]  For questions about the proposed group contact Thomas Boutell <[email protected]>.   CHARTERS  comp.infosystems.www.misc (unmoderated) will provide a forum for general discussion of WWW (World Wide Web)- related topics that are NOT covered by the other newsgroups in the hierarchy. This will likely include discussions of the Web's future, politicking regarding changes in the structure and protocols of the web that affect both clients and servers, et cetera. If this group passes, the group comp.infosystems.www will  be removed after three months, giving traffic time to move to the new group.  comp.infosystems.www.providers (unmoderated) will provide a forum for the discussion of WWW server software and the use of said software to present information to users. General server design, setup questions, server bug reports, security issues, HTML page design and other concerns  of information providers are among the likely topics for this group.  comp.infosystems.www.users (unmoderated) will provide a forum for the discussion of WWW client software and its use in contacting various Internet information sources. New user questions, client setup questions, client bug reports, resource-discovery questions on how to locate information on the web that can't be found by the means detailed in the FAQ and comparison between various client packages are among the acceptable topics for this group.   BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE:  Since the creation of comp.infosystems.www, traffic has steadily increased to the point where many users now voice the complaint that it is no longer possible to keep up with the volume, which can exceed a hundred messages per day. Splitting the group has been a popular topic of discussion of late.  In addition, there is a clear means of subdividing the group, since nearly all concerns of WWW posters can be divided into user issues (Mosaic, Lynx, other clients, connectivity questions) and  provider issues (issues of interest to information providers, such as web servers and HTML page design). There is a clear division between these two categories in the messages posted to comp.infosystems.www. comp.infosystems.www.misc catches the rest, including, but not limited to, "futures" discussion.  Each group will be voted upon separately; see below.   HOW TO VOTE  Erase everything above the top "-=-=-=-" line and erase everything below the bottom "-=-=-=-" line.  Do not erase anything between these lines and do not change the group names.  Give your name on the line that asks for it. For each group, place a YES or NO in the brackets next to it to vote for or against it.  If you don't want to vote on a particular group, just leave the space blank.  Don't worry about spacing of the columns or any quote characters (">") that your reply inserts.
