A weeks or so ago, I sent out a Request For Discussion about adding
a newsgroup for users of Macintosh Common Lisp (MCL). There is already
a mailing list maintained by the folks at Apple/Cambridge, but some
of us think it would be better to have a newsgroup. The discussion
is taking place on news.groups.
The proposed name for the newsgroup was comp.lang.lisp.mcl, but during
the discussion, several people have suggested that it should be one of:
comp.sys.mac.lisp
comp.sys.mac.programmer.lisp
comp.sys.mac.programer.mcl
Andrew Shalit at Apple/Cambridge suggested that we post a message to
comp.sys.mac and comp.sys.mac.programmer to solicit opinions. Since
I posted the inital RFD, I thought I might as well do it.
Please mail your responses to me (in addition to posting it, if you
like); I'll summarize the reponses. The choice of name doesn't seem
to be an important issue in the mailing-list-versus-newsgroup
discussion, so I don't want to postpone the Call For Votes over this
point, but I would like your comments on the choice of name.
