2nd CALL FOR VOTES: creation of comp.lang.idl-pvwave
This is to solict votes to create a group for a language called either
IDL or PV-Wave (depending on whom you buy it from).
Group Name: comp.lang.idl-pvwave
Vote period: Through June 25, 1990.
[this changed from June 22 in the 1st CFV to conform with the 21 day
voting period in the guidelines]
To vote: send mail to
rfinch@water.ca.gov ---or--- ...ucbvax!ucdavis!caldwr!rfinch
Replying to this message should work.
Indicate clearly in the subject and/or message whether your vote is
YES or NO for creating comp.lang.idl-pvwave. Qualified votes ("I vote
yes if...."), votes posted to a group, or unclear votes cannot be
counted. I'll reply to each vote individually; a mass acknowledgment
will be made at the end. [I haven't been able to respond to a few
addresses, those people should look for the mass acknowledgement]
Charter: An unmoderated newsgroup for discussing the programming
language known as both Interactive [Data/Display] Language (IDL) and
PV-Wave (Precision Visuals Workstation Analysis and Visualization
Environment). Topics will be programming tips, techniques, and code
exchanges, either full programs or fragments. The proposed group is
intended primarily to discuss numerical analysis, imaging, scientific
visualization, etc. *as performed using the IDL/Wave language*; it is
not intended to support discussions concerning those topics directly,
as groups already exist for those purposes (e.g.
sci.math.num-analysis).
The existing group comp.lang.idl is for the Interface Description
Language, something else entirely.
This Call For Votes does not constitute an endorsement of any product
or company.
