The group would serve for discussions on the programming language Pop11, and related environments and libraries. Relevant topics, in this group, would cover all aspects of Pop11 programming (from novice questions to expert efficiency issues) and the current BSI standards effort (Pop9x). Also relevant would be conversations about the Poplog programming environment and its libraries. Eg. OOP in Pop11 Flavours, or objectclass etc. X windows hacking in Pop11 Mixed language programming (eg. between Lisp/Pop11/Prolog/ML/C etc.) that is supported in Poplog but isn't relevant for discussion in other, pure language, groups Techniques for Artificial Intelligence programming (it is an AI language after all :) and so on. These sorts of discussions have so far been supported by a mailing list. But the list is now far too unwieldy (>400 members). Universities are a constant hassle for the mailing list, with students leaving and joining all the time. A news group would serve these people much better. Bandwidth is quite low. The group would be gatewayed, at Univ. of Sussex, onto the mailing list for the industrial members with no internet access. We seem to have done things backwards. We have a user group (Plug), an archive server, conferences and a standards effort, but no news group. I hope to rectify this :-) -- Ian Rogers - Research Fellow type dogsbody person :) School of Cognitive Science, Sussex University, Falmer, Brighton, UK "Deep in the fundamental heart of mind and Universe," said Slartibartfast, "there is a reason" - Douglas Adams From [email protected] Thu Sep 24 18:20:28 1992 Xref: uunet news.announce.newgroups:2761 news.groups:56914 comp.ai:13713 comp.lang.lisp:8077 comp.lang.prolog:6128 comp.object:8088 comp.windows.x:58982 Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,comp.ai,comp.lang.lisp,comp.lang.prolog,comp.object,comp.windows.x Path: uunet!bounce-back From: [email protected] (Ian Rogers) Subject: CFV: comp.lang.pop Message-ID: <[email protected]> Followup-To: news.groups Summary: darn sight better than Lisp :) Keywords: AI programming Sender: [email protected] (David C Lawrence) Organization: University of Sussex at Brighton Date: Thu, 24 Sep 1992 12:24:05 GMT Approved: [email protected] Lines: 63 This is a Call For Votes on a new group 'comp.lang.pop' (unmoderated). The RFD was posted on August 24. There has been support in both news.groups and the popforum mailing list. The only discussion has been about the name. comp.lang.pop has been retained (as opposed to c.l.pop11 or c.l.poplog) as this gives the group a more general coverage. The only change to the group description has been to extend it to cover "Pop11 like" languages (the full charter is included below). In accordance with guidelines, votes should be unambiguous and should only address this single issue. Two separate aliases have been set up for the vote taking process. YES votes should be of the form: To: [email protected] Subject: I vote YES to comp.lang.pop NO votes should be of the form: To: [email protected] Subject: I vote NO to comp.lang.pop Voting is now open and will finish at 12 midnight (GMT), Saturday 24th October Ian Rogers Plug Treasurer ---- comp.lang.pop Charter ---------------------------------------------- The group would serve for discussions on the programming language Pop11, and related environments, libraries, languages and the Plug User Group.
