In February 1998, the moderator posted that all<br /> recent submissions were either spam or technical questions about OS/2<br /> rather than advocacy of OS/2, and that she was seeking a replacement<br /> moderator. In May 1998, along with the final approvals, the moderator<br /> indicated that she had not found a replacement.<br /> <br /> It is not clear that Team OS/2 still exists as a formal (or informal)<br /> organization. The web page at http://www.teamos2.org/ is rudimentary.<br /> <br /> The unmoderated newsgroup comp.os.os2.advocacy can be used for<br /> advocacy posting about OS/2. The rest of the comp.os.os2.* hierarchy<br /> may be used for discussion of technical issues about OS/2.<br /> <br /> <br /> HISTORY: <br /> <br /> The newsgroups comp.org.team-os2 was created in August 1996 and was<br /> fairly busy for about a year and a half. The lass approval was in May<br /> 1998.<br /> <br /> <br /> DISTRIBUTION:<br /> <br /> This document has been posted to the following newsgroups:<br /> <br /> news.announce.newgroups<br /> news.groups.proposals<br /> comp.org.team-os2<br /> comp.os.os2.advocacy<br /> comp.os.os2.announce<br /> <br /> <br /> CHARTER:<br /> <br /> The newsgroup line is:<br /> <br /> comp.org.team-os2 Users promoting the OS/2 operating system.<br /> <br /> The charter (in part) extracted from the CFV:<br /> <br /> 1) comp.org.team-os2 is a moderated newsgroup for the discussion of<br /> information relating to the informal organisiation Team OS/2.
