Discussion was initiated near the end of last year with an extend discussion period to compensate for the holidays. It seems, however, that discussion has dropped off. Last I remember, David M. Read had volunteered to be moderator. We were discussing such things as maximum volume for the group, censorship issues, and group name. I looked through news.groups and news.announce.newgroups but couldn't find the list of current discussion and voting status of groups. Was I looking in the wrong groups?? Anyway, I believe voting is scheduled to come up soon, as in early February. I think David was also the one who initiated the CFD and will probably issue the CFV as well. I think the biggest issue was the group name. Rec.images wasn't supported because many sites don't get alt.* or rec.*. Other possibilities are comp.images, comp.binaries.images, and comp.graphics.images. I suppose that we should try to get the discussion going again, so people will be aware of the upcoming vote, and vote accordingly. I'd best go and cross- post this to a.s.p.d as well. When is the vote scheduled, anyway? -- Mike Castle (Nexus) S087891@UMRVMA.UMR.EDU (preferred) | ERROR: Invalid mcastle@mcs213k.cs.umr.edu (unix mail-YEACH!)| command 'HELP' Life is like a clock: You can work constantly, and be right | try 'HELP' all the time, or not work at all, and be right twice a day. |
