[comp.windows.x.announce] Purpose of this newsgroup

lear@genbank.BIO.NET (Eliot) (08/24/90)

[This message is also serving as a test for the news gateway..]

The following is a snippit from a message from rws@expo.lcs.mit.edu on
the purpose of xannounce.

A new release from the X Consortium
Patches from MIT for an X Consortium release
Public Review of a proposed X Consortium standard
Adoption of a new X Consortium standard
Upcoming public X conferences, exhibitions, or meetings
A new release of a major public toolkit or application

Examples of things xannounce should *not* be used for are:

Advertisements for commercial products
Announcing patches or modifications to software
Questions about anything

The list will not be moderated (at least for now), but if you are unsure about
whether a posting is acceptable, send it to xannounce-request@expo.lcs.mit.edu
and ask that it be forwarded.
