<p>Created page with &#039;&lt;pre&gt; From: board@big-8.org (The Big-8 Management Board) Subject: 3rd RFD: remove comp.lang.lisp.franz (LAST CALL FOR COMMENTS) Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups, news.groups, …&#039;</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&lt;pre&gt;<br /> From: board@big-8.org (The Big-8 Management Board)<br /> Subject: 3rd RFD: remove comp.lang.lisp.franz (LAST CALL FOR COMMENTS)<br /> Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups, news.groups, comp.lang.lisp.franz,<br /> comp.lang.lisp<br /> Followup-To: news.groups<br /> Date: Tue, 08 Aug 2006 13:13:45 -0700<br /> <br /> REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)<br /> remove comp.lang.lisp.franz<br /> <br /> This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) to remove the unmoderated<br /> newsgroup comp.lang.lisp.franz.<br /> <br /> <br /> PROCEDURE:<br /> <br /> The B8MB plans to begin voting on this proposal after five days. Please<br /> offer any final discussion or comments before the end of this waiting<br /> period. Voting may take up to one week (7 days); a result will be posted<br /> following the end of the voting period.<br /> <br /> All discussion of this proposal should be posted to news.groups.<br /> <br /> The full (draft) group removal procedure is documented here:<br /> <br /> http://www.big-8.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=policies:rmgroup<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION:<br /> <br /> The only comment made was that any discussion in comp.lang.lisp.franz<br /> was likely about Allegro CL, a Common Lisp implementation from Franz;<br /> rather than about Franz Lisp (also from Franz). A quick Google searched<br /> show almost all discussion about Allegro occurred in comp.lang.lisp.<br /> <br /> The Allegro CL discussion is off-topic in comp.lang.lisp.franz, but on<br /> topic in comp.lang.lisp, where almost all of it occurs. Discussion of<br /> Franz Lisp is virtually non-existent, but on-topic in both groups.<br /> <br /> <br /> RATIONALE: remove comp.lang.lisp.franz<br /> <br /> comp.lang.lisp.franz has had 5 apparently on-topic messages in the past<br /> 11 months. Only one received a response. Any Franz-specific discussion<br /> can be conducted in comp.lang.lisp.<br /> <br /> This RFD is part of a proposal to remove 31 low-traffic former-INET<br /> groups. Please see article &lt;1152814343.19576@isc.org&gt;, available here:<br /> <br /> http://news.killfile.org/?group=news.announce.newgroups&amp;number=1363<br /> <br /> Note: the proposal to remove two of the 31 groups, comp.os.rsts and<br /> comp.std.announce, has been withdrawn.<br /> <br /> <br /> HISTORY: <br /> <br /> comp.lang.lisp.franz has existed as an INET group since at least 1987. It was<br /> promoted to the standard Big 8 distribution in October 2000.<br /> <br /> <br /> DISTRIBUTION:<br /> <br /> This document has been posted to the following newsgroups:<br /> <br /> news.announce.newgroups<br /> news.groups<br /> comp.lang.lisp.franz<br /> comp.lang.lisp<br /> <br /> <br /> PROPONENT: <br /> <br /> Jim Riley &lt;jimrtex@pipeline.com&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY: <br /> <br /> 2006-08-08 3rd RFD (Last call for Comments)<br /> 2006-07-13 2nd (&quot;comprehensive&quot;) RFD<br /> 2006-07-06 1st RFD<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
