Voting began on 01 Jul 2006, and ended on<br /> 02 Jul 2006.<br /> <br /> This group will be removed on 07 Jul 2006.<br /> <br /> <br /> SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION:<br /> <br /> There were no comments made.<br /> <br /> <br /> RATIONALE: Remove comp.sources.delphi<br /> <br /> The last approved message was in April 2002.<br /> <br /> There are other more suitable means of distributing program sources,<br /> so comp.sources.delphi is not a suitable candidate for conversion to an<br /> unmoderated newsgroup.<br /> <br /> <br /> HISTORY:<br /> <br /> The newsgroup comp.sources.delphi was created in April 1996, with the<br /> first approved message in May 1996.<br /> <br /> <br /> CHARTER: comp.sources.delphi<br /> <br /> A moderated newsgroup for the posting of Borland Delphi and<br /> ObjectPascal sources, specifically source code and associated<br /> binaries such as .RES or .DCR files. Submissions must meet the<br /> following criteria:<br /> <br /> - Source code and files necessary for compilation _only_.<br /> Precompiled units and executables will be rejected.<br /> - You are legally permitted to submit the files for posting.<br /> - The moderator is legally permitted to post the files.<br /> - The files contain no viruses or trojans.<br /> - Binary files should be uuencoded.<br /> - Small sample data files may be submitted with a project.<br /> <br /> The moderator will take all care to ensure that copyrights are<br /> enforced, but will not be held responsible in the event of a mistake<br /> in this regard.<br /> <br /> Articles which are not acceptable include anything which is not<br /> required for compilation or an associated sample data file.<br /> <br /> The purpose of moderation is to keep the group within its narrow<br /> charter. Followups and other general posts are to be rejected with a<br /> pointer to a more suitable group.<br /> <br /> END CHARTER.<br /> <br /> <br /> DISTRIBUTION:<br /> <br /> This RFD has been posted to the following newsgroups:<br /> <br /> news.announce.newgroups<br /> news.groups<br /> comp.sources.delphi<br /> comp.lang.pascal.delphi.misc<br /> comp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.writing<br /> <br /> <br /> PROPONENT:<br /> <br /> Jim Riley &lt;jimrtex@pipeline.com&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY:<br /> <br /> 2006-07-05 Result prepared.<br /> 2006-06-26 2nd RFD (Last Call For Comments)<br /> 2006-06-19 Slightly reformatted and posted to NAN<br /> 2006-06-16 Original RFD.<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
