[Follow-ups directed to news.groups]

Well, I've gathered up all the responses from the past couple of weeks,
and have merged them into a formal proposal.  In summation, the proposal
basically says that if DSP is involved anywhere in the discussion, then
it belongs in comp.dsp.


Proposal for New Group: comp.dsp

1) Discussions of DSP hardware
	a) single processors
	b) DSP boards for computers
	c) new DSP product announcements
	d) architecture
2) Discussions of DSP software
	a) source code listings for particular chip
	b) how to use development software on particular chip
	c) general purpose DSP software on computers
3) Discussions of DSP theory
	a) general algorithms
	b) other devices that use DSP (CD players, etc.)
4) Discussions of DSP applications
	a) audio
	b) image
	c) control
	d) communications
	e) speech
	f) etc.


Now, I know this is broad.  If there is anything you can think of that
might get deposited in comp.dsp and you think it shouldn't, then let me
know and I'll modify the proposal.  Of course, any adds would be appreciated
also.

I will collect all comments until Sunday, August 13th.  At that point, I
will modify the proposal (if needed) and will issue a call for votes.

Thanks for your help.
