[ Followups to news.groups ] According to alex@telecdn.uucp (Alex Laney): >comp.cog-eng --> comp.software-eng.cognitive > OR comp.software-eng.user-interface >comp.groupware --> comp.software-eng.groupware >comp.multimedia --> comp.software-eng.multimedia >comp.object --> comp.software-eng.object >comp.realtime --> comp.software-eng.realtime >comp.software-eng --> comp.software-eng.misc >comp.specifications --> comp.software-eng.specifications Software engineering is a discipline. We don't want to put a newsgroup under comp.software-eng just because the discipline of software engineering is a tool used by people involved in the given subject. Rather, a group belongs under comp.software-eng if it is a *part* or *aspect* of software engineering. So I would favor only: comp.object --> comp.software-eng.object comp.software-eng --> comp.software-eng.misc comp.specifications --> comp.software-eng.specifications -- Brand X Industries Custodial, Refurbishing and Containment Service: When You Never, Ever Want To See It Again [tm] Chip Salzenberg <chip@tct.com>, <uunet!pdn!tct!chip>
