The following is a CALL FOR VOTES to determine whether or not this news
group should be created. I originally posted this only to news.groups but
I have been informed that I should post it to any group which may contain
interested readers.
Proposed Newsgroup: comp.windows.ms
Topics of discussion: This newsgroup will focus on discussions concerning
the Microsoft Windows development and operating environments. The
discussion topics may include MS Windows documentation, MS Windows
performance, MS Windows internals, Tools that can be used with MS
Windows, development environments available other then Microsoft's
SDK, hardware requirements for running MS Windows, hardware
requirements for MS Windows development, accessing hardware from
within an MS Windows program, networking and MS Windows, and any
other topics dealing with issues of concern to MS Windows developers.
Reasons for creation: Many people have expressed concern that there is
no centralized place for discussion of issues relating to Microsoft
Windows. Currently these discussions take place in three places;
comp.sys.ibm.pc, comp.windows.misc, and via a public mailing list
that is unknown to many people who have an interest in MS Windows.
Deadline for votes: The closing date for votes will be October 31, 1988, with
a 72 hour leeway period to account for net propagation. Results will
be tabulated and posted first to News.Admin, then on all related
newsgroups, and should be available by October 7th at the latest.
Depending on the result of the vote, the proper admin members will
then be requested to create a new newsgroup. Should the number of
NEGATIVE votes exceed that of positive votes, then the request will
be withdrawn.
Votes should be sent via E-Mail to the following net address:
{mit-eddie, pyramid, harvard!wjh12, xait, datacube}!mirror!mguyott
Votes will be counted only if received via E-Mail, or if a voter
cannot find an alternative path to this address, which does happen
from time to time.
...again, the deadline for voting is October 31, 1988.
Thanks, and please be sure to vote.
Marc
