For those of you who don't read "control", here's the newgroup message:
Control: newgroup comp.archives.admin
comp.archives.admin is an unmoderated newsgroup which passed its vote for
creation by 230:11 as reported in news.announce.newgroups on 26 May 1991.
For your newsgroups file:
comp.archives.admin Issues relating to computer archive administration.
The charter, culled from the call for votes:
The purpose of the newsgroup is to give the community a forum for
discussions relating to archive administration and archiving topics.
Its focus is the maintenance of archives in general, tools for dealing
with accessing, maintaining and updating archives and directions that
archiving should be taking in the future.
The intent of the newsgroup is not to just focus on one type of
archive administration but accept and encourage discussions on the
administration of different types of archives such as ftp, uucp
and email based archives.
Thanks to Kent for running the vote! I'm looking forward to a good group.
A reminder to all planning to go to Usenix that there's an "archivists
BOF" in the works (details to follow).
