RESULT<br />
remove comp.sources.hp48<br />
<br />
The Big-8 Management Board has decided by consensus to remove the<br />
newsgroup comp.sources.hp48. 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 objections to the removal of comp.sources.hp48<br />
<br />
<br />
RATIONALE: Remove comp.sources.hp48<br />
<br />
The last approved message was in November 1993.<br />
<br />
There are other more suitable means of distributing program sources,<br />
so comp.sources.hp48 is not a suitable candidate for conversion to an<br />
unmoderated newsgroup.<br />
<br />
<br />
HISTORY:<br />
<br />
The newsgroup comp.sources.hp48 was created in July 1991, with the first<br />
approved message in July 1991.<br />
<br />
CHARTER:<br />
<br />
From the CFV:<br />
<br />
This moderated newsgroup will contain all program postings and anything<br />
that needs to be archived. All programs can and should be posted here.<br />
It will not matter if they are rpl source, assembly source, uuencoded<br />
binaries, asc encoded binaries, or any other format that might come up<br />
in the foreseeable future. It would be good to post large documents<br />
like the internals list here for archiving and to keep the bytes down<br />
in the discussion group. This is not a requirement, only a suggestion.<br />
<br />
Each posting will contain rkive(1) headers so that rkive(1) can be<br />
used to automatically archive each posting. Hopefully the sites that<br />
archive comp.sources.* will also archive the HP48 source. There will<br />
be at least one archive site, seq.uncwil.edu.<br />
<br />
Each posting will also contain a version number so that it will be much<br />
easier to keep track of newer versions and to purge old versions.<br />
<br />
Since most HP28 programs run on the HP48, they are welcome. The<br />
postings will be identified by HP28 in the subject line of each<br />
message.<br />
<br />
