Subject: 2nd CFV and VOTE ACK: sci.fractals
Followup-To: poster
Organization: UUNET Technologies, Inc
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 1992 04:57:21 GMT

[Please note that followups are directed to news.groups]

This is the second official call for votes for the following newsgroup:

    sci.fractals	Unmoderated

There is a growing interest in fractals, mostly from inside the
computer graphics community, but also from the mathematical and
scientific community.  The newsgroup alt.fractals has been
around for quite a while with moderate to heavy traffic at times.
Fractals have grown from mathematical curiosities towards real-world
applications (chemical dynamics on 'fractal' interfaces, fractal image
compression, diffusion limited aggregates, etc.) as well as increasing
use in computer graphics (particle systems, L-systems, solid textures,
volume rendering of quarternion julia sets, etc.).

This CFV proposes the elimination of alt.fractals (or aliased as the
case may be) and the creation of sci.fractals.  By moving the group from
the alt hierarchy into the comp hierarchy, it is hoped that a wider audience
will be reached.

The only objection to the original RFD was the name.  Of all the names
discussed, sci.fractals was considered to be the best one suggested.

The voting period will end on September 11th.  To cast your vote, send
me electronic mail with one of the following as the subject of the message:

    "sci.fractals: NO"			To cast a NO vote
    "sci.fractals: YES"			To cast a YES vote

>From within most news readers you should be able to simply reply to
the sender of this message (rthomson@dsd.es.com) and change the subject
line appropriately.

    DO NOT POST YOUR VOTE!  POSTED VOTES WILL NOT BE COUNTED!!
