Subject: 2nd CFV and VOTE ACK: comp.os.linux split
Keywords: split, linux
Followup-To: poster
Organization: Olivetti Research Ltd
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 1992 12:59:32 GMT
Summary: proposal to split comp.os.linux into multiple subgroups

SUMMARY

This the 2nd Call for Votes and a mass vote acknowledgement regarding
the proposal to split the newsgroup comp.os.linux, containing
discussion of the Linux operating system.

The proposed groups are   .announce .questions .bugs .misc

(An X group is not being proposed because of the vote regarding and
possible forthcoming creation of comp.windows.x.i386unix.)


PROPOSAL

The following groups are proposed:


comp.os.linux.announce moderated

Announcements of new software, documentation, FTP sites, etc.
Frequently Asked Questions lists may be crossposted here.
Urgent notices of serious bugs and their (short) patches.

Moderated by Matt Welsh (mdw@tc.cornell.edu) with assistance from
Lars Wirzenius (wirzeniu@cc.helsinki.fi).


comp.os.linux.questions

Any questions from any user about using or installing Linux.
They should only be answered in the group if the answer is of general
interest, and then only by the relevant authoritative person.
Otherwise they should be answered by mail.

Frequently Asked Questions with Answers lists should be posted here.


comp.os.linux.bugs

Bug reports, patches, suggested fixes, "me too" postings. A bug should
only be reported here if the poster knows that it is a bug rather than
incorrect use or installation.


comp.os.linux.misc

Discussion about Linux which does not fall into any of the other Linux
groups' categories. No articles should be crossposted to c.o.l.misc
and any of those other groups.


We recommend that you vote either for both .bugs and .questions or
against both as the result if one passes and the other fails would
be undesirable.

If c.o.l.misc is created then comp.os.linux will be removed after a
suitable transition period.


VOTING PERIOD

The voting period will last from the date of this posting until
noon (1200GMT) on Thursday the 26th of November.


HOW TO VOTE

Send email to iwj@cam-orl.co.uk with subject "this is only a vote".
Votes will be processed automatically, so please keep to this format:

The body must consist _only_ of a series of lines, one for each
proposed group. Any signature will be ignored.

Each line may be either of the form
      I vote for/against the group comp.os.linux.announce as proposed
or of the form
      .bugs yes/no

Case is not significant (and the pattern matching is a bit flexible).


ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Attached to the bottom of this message is a list of the people from
whom I have received and counted votes. The list is in an order
intended to make detecting duplicates easy, which is mostly surname
order, but if your name doesn't appear in the "right" place please
check the whole list before mailing me.

If you submitted a vote which you would have expected to arrive before
1500GMT today Wednesday the 11th and it doesn't appear in this list
please let me know and I'll sort it out.

First, a note to rhodesia%wixer@cs.utexas.edu (Felix S. Gallo):
     You put ".help" instead of ".questions". I have counted your
     votes regarding the other groups but if you wish to vote on that
     group you'll have to mail me again I'm afraid. My mail to try to
     tell you this bounced.
