Some comments by voters from the {sci|comp}.groupware(.f) vote:
==============================================
I vote against this group. It certainly doesn't belong in sci.*.
----
If you had resticted your posting to news.groups where it belongs. I'd
have considered otherwise. I consider your posting to comp.mail.elm an
unwanted intrusion into my reading of news.
---
I dislike the way this was immediately presented as a call for votes.
---
My no vote is based purely on the principal of creating no more groups.
It is not personal, nor is intended to suggest that the group is somehow
not worthy. We simply don't need any more disk space occupied by news.
---
I vote no on sci.groupware. I abstain from voting on comp.groupware.
---
I wish to vote 'NO' on the creation of any new newsgroup.
However, if we are to have yet-another-news-group thrust
upon us, at least place it in the appropriate hierarchy, comp.*.
Under (the net's) STV rules that means I vote against the
creation of *any* group as result of this vote call, and that this
vote is *NOT* removed from the list of votes no matter how many
round are needed to resolve the vote.
---
My vote is NO. There is absolutely no way this group should be in
sci. Since it violates the guidelines, I'd rather have it fail, to be
brought up again properly in the future.
-----
What I would like to do it vote against any sci.* group but not vote at all
in
in comp.* vote. Since I can't figure out how to to this given the voting
mechanism you are using, I guess I just have to vote NO for this group. Sorry.
============== Yes Votes ===================
I do think a comp.groupware group would be very good. At IRIS (the Institute
for Research in Information and Scholarship) we have a group of researchers
totally devoted to groupware in the hypertext.
---------
A wonderful idea.
I vote for comp.groupware as an appropriate name.
----------
that is my vote... I think it is a valid and exciting approach to getting more
people involved in this type of software. I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you
better describe the term "groupware"... software made for group interactions.
======= Comments on the Call for Votes============
P.S. Your call for votes was amazingly ambiguous.
-----
The vote should be clear from the subject line. Well done (the voting
strategy).
