Current total: 104-14 in favor. Looks like it's a go. However, the initial call for votes was about its existence, and explicitly stated that its name would be decided later. Furthermore, in the meantime, a comp.sys.amiga.tech group was created that has poor propagation (though it *does* reach this site). Speaking for myself, I feel that we should either name the group comp.sys.amiga.wizards (in line with the precedent unix.wizards) or, if we insist upon ignoring it as did comp.sys.mac.programmer, at least pick a name that compliments CATS and other providers of signal and will intimidate somewhat the atari-amiga flame warriors, as well as having some connection with the Amiga's heritage. `tech' does none of these things, and is an abbreviation to boot. I suggest comp.sys.amiga.gurus, which I think has been suggested before. When people have to think about `does it belong there', then they think `am I a guru ?', or `did this cause a guru ?', which is about right.

However, the initial call for votes was about its >existence, and explicitly stated that its name would be decided later. No. I made the initial proposal, and it was for ".tech". The voting for this group has a long and tortured history. Compared to creating a group, however, changing the name is easy. >I suggest comp.sys.amiga.gurus, which I think has been suggested before. >When people have to think about `does it belong there', then they think >`am I a guru ?', or `did this cause a guru ?', which is about right. The distinction I wish to see is "Am I creating some new {software,hardware}?". ".tech" is for the Bit Twiddling & Structure-Swapping crowd to work out how to best twiddle & swap on the Amiga. "How to get CMD_READ to work in my new harddisk.device", "Here's how to write a virus" would be acceptable. >>> BEGINNER'S QUESTIONS ARE WELCOME in .tech, provided that <<< >>> they are about how to get things done, programatically <<< >>> speaking. <<< ".amiga" is for discussion on a less arcane level.

I'll second the nomination...

I don't know, I think that there is going to be alot of time spent in this
group sending messages like:
" If you want to ask questions about when 1.4 is going to be released,
please confine you postings to comp.sys.amiga "
Of course I might be wrong...
