The group was created on 05 Feb 2007.<br /> <br /> For more information on the proposal and history, please refer to the<br /> archives:<br /> <br /> ftp://ftp.isc.org/usenet/news.announce.newgroups/comp/comp.lang.xharbour<br /> <br /> For your newsgroups file:<br /> comp.lang.xharbour xHarbour programming, Clipper, and xBase.<br /> <br /> <br /> CHARTER:<br /> <br /> comp.lang.xharbour is an unmoderated newsgroup which will serve as<br /> a forum for discussing the xHarbour programming language. The group<br /> will serve both those who program in xHarbour and those who work<br /> on developing the language. Topics that may be discussed include:<br /> <br /> - Announcements of new versions of the language.<br /> <br /> - Design and internals of the xHarbour language.<br /> <br /> - Design, programming, and administration of systems<br /> and applications which use the xHarbour language.<br /> <br /> - Strengths, weaknesses, and general usage of xHarbour<br /> to solve real world problems.<br /> <br /> - Technical discussion of products or themes of interest<br /> to xHarbour developers, including third-party add-on<br /> products, their usage, advantages and drawbacks, and<br /> links to additional information.<br /> <br /> Notwithstanding the above, advertisements of any kind are<br /> specifically disallowed, except for brief announcements of products<br /> and events specifically for xHarbour programmers. This specifically<br /> excludes:<br /> <br /> a. General-purpose programming tools.<br /> <br /> b. Announcements of over 50 lines of text.<br /> <br /> c. Advertisements listing specific prices and ordering<br /> information.<br /> <br /> d. Products and events which are not substantially specific<br /> to the needs of xHarbour developers.<br /> <br /> e. Any product or event that has been announced on<br /> comp.lang.xharbour within the past 30 days.<br /> <br /> Item (d) is intended to mitigate against announcements of general<br /> purpose programming tools or events, which really belong somewhere<br /> like:<br /> <br /> comp.lang.misc<br /> <br /> There is nothing wrong with posts like this but this charter is<br /> specifically attempting to establish strict definition of what&#039;s<br /> considered on-topic for comp.lang.xharbour. The clear intent and<br /> general requirement for all posts is to have directly xHarbour<br /> related content.<br /> <br /> Posters are expected to abide by normal Usenet standards of decorum,<br /> and to ignore articles intended to disrupt the group.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> PROPONENT:<br /> <br /> &quot;Patrick Mast, xHarbour&quot; &lt;patrick.xHarbour@gmail.com&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY:<br /> <br /> 2006-12-18 1st RFD<br /> 2007-01-26 2nd RFD/LCC<br /> 2007-02-02 Results (passes)<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
