Formal call for discussion
==========================
This is the 1st call for discussion for the creation of a French
soc.culture newsgroup.
The proposed newsgroup, unmoderated soc.culture.french, is intended
to generally provide a medium for those interested to express and share
their views and feelings about *things* (normally discussed in soc.culture
newsgroups) related to France and Frenchmen.
The discussion period will last for 2 weeks from today.
Comments and discussions are welcome provided they are also posted to
news.groups newsgroup.

La Louisiane, le Quebec, l'Afrique francophone.. Despite the original poster's specification, I expect the group would evolve to Dave Darr's interpretation anyway. When looking for somewhere to post an article pertaining to somewhere which is *French* speaking, the average new user is going to hit upon the first group with *.french* in the title, regardless of the group's formal charter. But yes, the charter ought to sort this out properly, first, if it is considered to be sufficient of a problem. You can count on my 'Yes' vote. I am a little worried that I might miss the formal call for votes though, since I rarely stray into either of these groups. Can someone poke me when the time comes, please. Malcolm Shute.

La Louisiane, le Quebec, l'Afrique francophone.. >etc., etc. I also support the creation of this group and including francophone culture in it. Maybe we could discuss things in New Caledonian Islands, Haiti, etc. I think we could also include some aspects of Indochina coutries since there remains influence of French colonization. Jun
