CALL FOR DISCUSSION
###################
###################################
comp.sys.netware
###################################
Why add a new group?
A forum to discuss technical and non-technical issues specific to
the Novell's Netware family of Local Area and Wide Area Networking products.
These include Netware286, Netware386, Portable Netware, Communication products,
Database products, Excelan LAN WorkPlace family (TCP/IP) etc. etc.
The creation of this forum will allow the Novell Netware enthusiasts
at USENET their own forum to discuss items of a non-technical nature
(how to use software packages, what networking card to buy, etc)
and items of a technical nature (what's wrong with this code?, how do I use
this toolkit call?, etc.), thus reducing the amount of time spent sorting
through multiple groups on protocols, lans, ibmpc, tcp-ip.
THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR VOTES; please do not send votes. Usenet
newsgroup creation guidelines do not allow premature votes to be
counted. A call for votes will be posted in Jan 1990, unless major issues
remain unresolved through those dates. Issues to be resolved are:
o What, if any, type of group to create.
o What to call this group: comp.sys.netware
o Whether the group should be moderated: NO.
o The group's charter: see above, please discuss revisions.
Followups are directed to news.groups. Please include news.groups in
all related discussion; please minimize cross-postings to the lan, protocols,
tcp-ip, ibmpc, nfs related groups..
Netware readers interested in this discussion should follow news.groups for
the next 2-4 weeks.
Regards!
