Wednesday 14th October 1992

Previously, I sent out the note below.

I have received just two replies, by e-mail, both favourable.  I
have not seen any comments in alt.config or
alt.education.distance.

I now propose to send out a newgroup for alt.authorware, which
may well gather some more interested people once alt.authorware
is individually offered to people when they use their newsreader.

Wednesday 30th September 1992

Proposal for the creation of alt.authorware

I am proposing in alt.config, cross-posted to
alt.education.distance, the creation of a new group called
alt.authorware.

The intention, subject to the results of any discussions on the
net, is that alt.authorware shall be a special group for
discussions relating to the use of the Authorware package, which
is produced by Authorware, Inc..

This is certainly a specialist topic, though one for which those
who are involved in using Authorware is a very important one.

I started using Authorware on Monday and am starting to get into
it.  I am a programmer on the staff of Coventry University,
including being a programming adviser.  From next week, a number
of final year undergraduates are to be started off on projects
involving using Authorware to create open learning packages.
They will be under the supervision of a lecturer who has a lot of
experience with Authorware.  As well as installing the software
on the PCs, I am hoping to be able to help the students on a day
to day basis as they work on their projects.  A thriving
alt.authorware group, where they can read views from around the
world, with discussions at a state-of-the-art level, would be a
great benefit.  Discussions with other students working on
Authorware based projects, would, I feel, be an added advantage.

The number of students to be involved is not yet fixed, as there
is an element of choosing projects with some flexibility on the
numbers.  That is, all sorts of projects of which an Authorware
based project is just one of the things on offer.

Authorware has a vast number of possibilities.

The group will not be moderated.  I will do my best to try to
keep an archive, but hope that others will also wish to do this
as well.

As well as discussions on programming and presentation aspects,
the group is intended also as a forum for discussion of copyright
aspects and so on.

I am fully aware that Authorware is a licensed product and that
permission to publish finished work is part of the licensing, and
also a matter of copyright of the open learning package author.
I am not in charge of Authorware here and will need to go into
the details of the licensing.  However, if it can be legally and
properly done, maybe the group can facilitate the circulation of
open learning packages produced using Authorware, by the various
methods of servers and the like.

Comments and support is welcomed, preferably posted, but by
e-mail if you wish.

>I'm seeing about 5 posts a day to alt.dragons-inn.  Is this a legit group,

I've already replied in mail to news@geovision.gvc.com, but I would
like to make the point that alt.dragons-inn shouldn't exist, it was
created before adequate discussion, and after discussion it was agreed
that it should go under alt.pub.*, in a vain attempt to stem the flood
of top-level groups in alt.

I'll issue another rmgroup for alt.dragons-inn today (I was the person
who issued the newgroup for alt.pub.dragons-inn), and I would ask that
those who don't choose to honour the rmgroup at least alias it to
alt.pub.dragons-inn. 

Many thanks

Did I miss the discussion for alt.music.jewish? I haven't seen a newgroup
control message for it, but I'm getting regular traffic for it in "junk".
It looks like it's a mailing list reflector, maybe from bitnet.

And could whoever is doing this cut it out?  I'm just going to x the

Nope. Junked posts to alt.znet.fnet (notice the "interesting" From:

hard-on about creating his new group but not having a clue about how to do

I would never call 'hardcore' recent, take a look at the (late) Dead

Its a nice proposal, I'll look forward to lurking there if it gets

A "hardcore" group as such is hardly needed.  Hardcore can be applied to many
different styles of music - hardcore punk, harcore metal, harcore techno, etc. 
Hardcore techno belongs in alt.rave, hardcore metal in alt.metal.heavy and/or
alt.thrash (which are starting to look quite similar these days I notice).  But
as I have said before, there is no group alt.music.punk or alt.music.grunge and
no real place for discussions of such things in other groups.  True, the
mailing lists are there, but I have enough trouble with my disk quota just
subscribing to one list - two and my SysAdmin is going to be comingafter me
with a big gun.

So: 1) Would someone like to set these groups up?
    2) Would they like to set them up in the alt.music.* heirarchy or
       the alt.rock-n-roll.* hierarachy?

alt.music.grunge   and
alt.music.punk

OR

alt.rock-n-roll.grunge and
alt.rock-n-roll.punk

I look forward to seeing them as the result of the efforts of some kind
 News Administrator.

Lemurs don't need a group of their own.  Just subscribe to
all other alt groups, and use a killfile to get rid of all
the non-Lemur-related posts.

I just issued an rmgroup for alt.fan.matt.welsh; hopefully it will
go through wherever it was created. News administrators should

a) just nuke the group, or

b) alias it to alt.non.sequitur, for real entertainment value.

No, this isn't a forgery. Yes, I am rmgrouping my own fan group. 
If only others would do the same.

I rmgrouped it because it wasn't really needed, and I don't think an
alt.fan group should be wasted on me. Give one to Oktay Ahiska instead. :)
I have no fans, anyway. Hmm. We thought the same was true of Dan Quayle,
but his fan group gets a lot of bandwidth...

I know that Becker might re-newgroup it; however, I'll hope that he
realizes there's really no point.

Perhaps you should learn how to use a killfile or if you already do,
how to tune it properly.
