Proposal for a new newsgroup
Request for Discussion: comp.sys.atari.programmer

by: Yat Siu ([email protected])
-----------------------------------

Group name:	comp.sys.atari.programmer
Status:		unmoderated
Distribution:	world-wide
Summary:	a newsgroup for the discussion of programming on the atari
		TOS or 8bit computer and any clones or otherwise

Justification:	

	There are currently several comp.sys.atari.* newsgroups, however
none cover the aspect of programming questions. Atari Computer systems
(8bit, 16 or 32bit and clones) have various development tools from other
third party developers, some of which are very good. Atari Users require
a forum where they can ask questions about programming in any language. 

	This new newsgroup is also meant to encourage programming on the
atari and asking questions regarding programming. Very often programming
questions are asked in other forums, but they either don't get a reply or
ignored because it is not related to the topic. Atari Computers have got
a user base of programmers who need to support each other on the usenet on
a more global scale, and it should also help third party developers for
atari development tools read and see what programmers use/require/want.

Charter:

	The proposed group will provide a forum for the discussion of
programming queries, discussions of techniques or anything else that is
related to programming on the atari for any language that exist on the
atari (scheme, gcc, c, basic, pascal, assembler etc.)

NOTE

This RFD is being issued in concordance with the guidelines set in the
"How to create a new usenet newsgroup" FAQ regularly posted to 
news.announce.newgroups. Please refer to this article if you have any 
questions about the newsgroup creation.

Unless the discussion indicated a need to resubmit a new RFD, the CFV will
be posted approximately three to four weeks after the posting of this RFD.

This RFD was (cross)-posted to the following groups:

news.announce.newgroups, news.groups, comp.sys.atari.st,
comp.sys.atari.8bit, comp.sys.atari.announce and mailed to the gem-list
and lexicor-list
