CHARTER comp.databases.pick (unmoderated) will be a newsgroup which will provide a common forum: (1) To discuss the design, programming, and administration of systems and applications which use a database model and programming tools generically known as "Pick", "Pick-like", or "Pick-compatible". These include, among others: - "Pure" Pick (a.k.a. the "Pick Operating System"), a standalone operating system running on a large number of different mini- and microcomputer platforms under a dizzying array of versions, releases, and brand names (see Question 2, below); - "UniVerse" (from Vmark, Inc.), a Pick-style applications environment running on a multitude of Unix platforms, including Sequent, AT&T, Sequoia, Encore, IBM RS/6000, HP 9000, Data General, and many others; - "UniData" (from the Unidata Corporation), a similar environment, also running on a number of Unix systems; - "Revelation" and "Advanced Revelation" (from Revelation Technologies), a Pick-inspired "industrial strength" database for MS-DOS and networked PC systems; - "Prime Information", a Pick-compatible system running on Prime Computer hardware under the PRIMOS operating system. (2) To share ideas, information, and experience regarding design and programming of applications within a Pick environment, including efficient file design and useful Pick programming techniques; (3) To allow those using Pick-like systems to relate their experiences with specific software and hardware implementations of Pick and with the Pick data model in general; (4) To discuss conferences, trade shows, publications, and courses of interest to those working with (or considering using) a Pick-like system; (5) To discuss new products of interest to the Pick marketplace and users; (6) To educate and inform others about the strengths, weaknesses, and general usage of the Pick data model in the real world; and (7) To provide Pick users, designers, programmers, and administrators with Usenet access to have what they have not had before: a common newsgroup to share their ideas, concerns, experiences, questions, and knowledge with one another. RATIONALE Pick is huge, far larger than anyone who doesn't follow it might imagine. Worldwide, there are hundreds of thousands of systems, with millions of individual users, using Pick-like software as their main operating system and/or database manager and/or development environment. Even considering *only* the number of sites, developers and current end users of its original incarnation (the Pick Operating System), Pick is easily among the most under-represented portable (open) software system of its size on Usenet. The historical and technical reasons for this are complex and interesting to speculate upon, but a great deal can be explained by simple fragmentation: Revelation users chat in comp.databases; Prime Information users post into comp.sys.prime; Stratus Pick users use comp.sys.stratus, and the odd Pick OS article occasionally finds its way into comp.os.misc, to give only a few examples. Many more folk don't post at all, because there isn't any defined group dedicated to their questions, interests, and knowledge. To be sure, each Pick "flavor" is in some way different from all others, but all are very similar in the manner that they view and store database records, and in the ways that applications can be designed and built to run under them. A common group will foster and focus discussion among all of these previously separate groups of individuals. SUMMARY In summary, a new news group called _comp.databases.pick_ is proposed. It will focus exclusively on discussions by, for, and of things relating to any facet of database systems which are compatible with (or were inspired by) the set of database concepts generally known as "Pick". Discussion of the proposed group comp.databases.pick will be held on "news.groups". (Note that the Followup-To: line of this article will direct any responses there automatically.) Copies of this RFD will also be cross-posted to comp.databases, comp.os.misc, comp.sys.prime, and comp.sys.stratus. Readers should feel free to re-post this article to other newsgroups whose readers might find it of interest, as long as the Followup-To: line remains directed to news.groups. Requests for more information may be directed to me at the address below at any time. -- David Ruggiero ([email protected]) Seattle, WA:Our slugs can beat up your slugs From [email protected] Fri May 28 16:17:52 1993 Path: uunet!bounce-back From: [email protected] (David Ruggiero) Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,comp.databases,comp.sys.prime,comp.sys.stratus,comp.os.misc Subject: CFV: comp.databases.pick Followup-To: poster Date: 27 May 1993 17:52:10 -0400 Organization: Little or None.

VOTING PERIOD From: The appearance of this posting. To: 17 June 1993 23:59:59 GMT. Votes received after this date will not be counted. VOTING RULES All votes must be mailed to the "[email protected]". Votes which are posted instead of being mailed will be ignored. If you vote more than once from the same address, only the most recent vote received will be counted as valid. Each person has only one vote, even if they have multiple accounts or email addresses. Forwarded or proxy votes are not valid. If you vote more than once from different addresses in an apparent attempt to circumvent this rule, all your votes may be rejected, and this fact plus your name noted in the final vote tally. HOW TO VOTE Vote by sending mail to [email protected], preferably using the format below. Votes will be tallied by an automatic program; if it can't decipher your vote, you will be asked to re-vote. Your reply MUST contain a line of the form: "I vote {YES/NO} for the creation of comp.databases.pick." (The easiest way to vote is to reply to this message using the "r" or "reply" command of your newsreading software, then delete every line of this article except the above line, changing the {YES/NO} to your choice of YES or NO.) If your system does not permit you to put your real name in the "From:" or "Reply-To:" fields of your message, you may optionally add a line in the message body of the exact form: "My real name is: your_real_name_here" All votes will be automatically acknowledged by the voting software via email at some time after being received. Any acknowledgement that bounces will not be retried. There will also be at least one mass acknowledgement posted during the voting period. The final vote tally will be posted at the end of the vote, including a complete list showing how everyone voted. VOTE RESULT At the end of the voting period, there will be a period of five days from the posting of the result to allow for any errors to be noted and corrected. Under the Usenet group creation guidelines, the group will be created if at least 100 more YES votes than NO votes are received, with at least 2/3 of the valid votes received in favor of the group. If either the 100 vote margin and 2/3 majority are not met, the group will not be created. -- David Ruggiero (votes to [email protected], other mail to [email protected]) (Thanks to Ron Dippold for UseVote 1.2a and much generous advice.)

During that time, 215 valid votes were received and counted using Ron Dippold's UseVote system. The final tally was follows: comp.databases.pick vote results - 215 votes Yes No : 2/3? >100? : Pass? : Group ---- ---- : ---- ----- : ----- : ------------------- 198 17 : Yes Yes : Yes : comp.databases.pick The vote taker thanks everyone who took the time to vote. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Short commentary on the comp.databases.pick vote The voting was remarkably uneventful. Five votes were received in an invalid or undecipherable format and were 'bounced' with acknowledgement to that effect by UseVote; all five were returned by their authors with correct votes. Four duplicate votes with addresses identical to the original vote's address were received after the second CFV; by the voting rules of the CFV only the last (second) vote was counted in each case. No voters reported that the UseVote-generated acknowledgement of their vote was wrong, so I think I am fairly safe in assuming that the count reported above (with full voter detail below) is completely correct. The standard five-day waiting period for any corrections or questions about the vote will be observed, however, and if no problems are noted, the control message will be issued to create the group shortly afterwards. --------------------------------------------------------------------- CHARTER "comp.databases.pick" will be a newsgroup for the discussion of the creation, administration, and use of the multitude of databases, operating systems, and applications environments which are generally known as "Pick-compatible", "Pick-like", "Pick-inspired", or "post- relational".
