Any announcements<br /> about legacy BeBox hardware and BeOS software may be made in the<br /> unmoderated groups of the comp.sys.be.* hierarchy.<br /> <br /> <br /> HISTORY:<br /> <br /> The newsgroup comp.sys.be.announce was created in February 1997 as<br /> part of the reorganization of the comp.sys.be.* (CSB) hierarchy, that<br /> included creation of CSB.announce, CSB.advocacy, CSB.help,<br /> CSB.programmer, and CSB.misc (rename of comp.sys.be).<br /> <br /> The group did not have an active moderator until July 1997, after<br /> which began a period of regular approvals of 2 or 3 per month, which<br /> lasted until April 1998. Approvals were quite rare until August 1999,<br /> when the moderator announced that he was spending some time figuring<br /> out what wasn&#039;t working with the moderation software. From then until<br /> December 2000, approvals were fitful, with 0, 1, or 2 approvals per<br /> month.<br /> <br /> The last approval was in December 2000. Over its active life, there<br /> were about 100 approvals.<br /> <br /> <br /> CHARTER:<br /> <br /> The newsgroup line is:<br /> <br /> comp.sys.be.announce BeOS product announcements.<br /> <br /> The charter (extracted from the CFV):<br /> <br /> Announcements of new software, hardware, documentation, FTP/WWW sites,<br /> events, etc for BeBox or BeOS. This group is moderated. Discussions<br /> of the announcements do not take place here.<br /> <br /> Commercial announcements are more than welcome. Before submitting an<br /> announcement, please read the submission guidelines, posted monthly to<br /> the newsgroup.<br /> <br /> <br /> PROCEDURE: <br /> <br /> The full group removal procedure is documented here:<br /> <br /> http://www.big-8.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=policies:rmgroup<br /> <br /> Those who wish to comment on this request to remove this newsgroup should<br /> subscribe to news.groups.proposals and participate in the relevant threads <br /> in that newsgroup.<br /> <br /> To this end, the followup header of this RFD has been set to <br /> news.groups.proposals.<br /> <br /> All discussion of active proposals should be posted to news.groups.proposals.<br /> <br /> If desired by the readership of closely affected groups, the discussion<br /> may be crossposted to those groups, but care must be taken to ensure that<br /> all discussion appears in news.groups.proposals as well.<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.sys.be.announce<br /> comp.sys.be.advocacy<br /> comp.sys.be.misc<br /> <br /> <br /> PROPONENT: <br /> <br /> Jim Riley &lt;jimrtex@pipeline.com&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY: <br /> <br /> 2007-03-21 1st RFD<br /> <br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
