[news.announce.newgroups] CALL FOR DISCUSSION: comp.std.c++

hansen@pegasus.att.com (Tony L. Hansen) (02/27/90)

Since I was involved in the creation of comp.lang.c++ in 1986, I'll get the
ball rolling on this one. This is an official proposal for the newsgroup
comp.std.c++.

The purpose of the newsgroup is similar to that of comp.std.c. There is now
a standardization effort going on for C++. This unmoderated newsgroup would
be used for discussion of the "official" language specs and the ANSI
standardization of C++. The byline for the newsgroup would be 

	comp.std.c++		Discussion about C++ language standards.

Discussion of the newsgroup will last until March 15 (3 weeks). At that
point, if sufficient interest is expressed, a call for votes will occur.
