[news.announce.newgroups] CALL FOR DISCUSSION: IBM-PC & PS/2 Reorganisation

rja@edison.GE.COM (rja) (03/02/90)

Chuq's efforts to straighten out the Mac groups inspired me to take on
a similar attempt with the IBM PC newsgroups.

I propose following the same voting guidelines as Chuq is going to use
for the Mac groups.  (Note that these aren't the same as the usual rules.)

Discussion of this proposal should only appear in news.groups and will
last at least 2 weeks.  At that time if a consensus has developed around
the proposals then a CALL FOR VOTES will be made.

Here is the first proposal:

1) create comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc and eventually rmgroup comp.sys.ibm.pc
2) create comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware	For PC/XT/AT & EISA hardware
3) create comp.sys.ibm.ps2.hardware	For Microchannel hardware
4) create comp.sys.ibm.pc.dos-apps      For MS-DOS application discussions
5) create comp.sys.ibm.pc.os2-apps	For OS/2 application discussions
6) create comp.sys.ibm.pc.questions	For general user questions & answers
7) create comp.sys.ibm.pc.wanted	For wanted postings

comp.sys.ibm.pc.programmer would remain as is.
comp.sys.ibm.pc.digest would remain as is.
