Over the last year year<br /> of activity approvals were infrequent, with only 17 in the last 12<br /> months.<br /> <br /> Alternatively to removal, the group could be assigned a new moderator.<br /> Kathy Morgan has volunteered to moderate if there is interest in<br /> reviving the group.<br /> <br /> As an announcement group, conversion to an unmoderated status is not<br /> appropriate.<br /> <br /> <br /> HISTORY:<br /> <br /> The newsgroup comp.sys.mac.programmer.info was created as part of a<br /> re-organization of the comp.sys.mac.programmer (CSMP) hierarchy in<br /> November 1994 that created CSMP.help, CSMP.info, CSMP.tools, and<br /> renamed comp.sys.mac.programmer to CSMP.misc.<br /> <br /> The comp.sys.mac.programmer (CSMP) sub-hierarchy had its origin with<br /> the creation of comp.sys.mac.programmer in March 1988 (the 4th group<br /> in the comp.sys.mac hierarchy). CSMP.codewarrior was added in August<br /> 1994. 3 groups, including CSMP.info were added in November 1994 (see<br /> above). CSMP.games was added in October 1995.<br /> <br /> There were generally 10 to 20 approvals per month in<br /> comp.sys.mac.programmer.info, from its creation in November 1994 until<br /> March 1999 (4-1/2 years). Over the last year, approvals were<br /> infrequent (17 total), with the last in March 2000.<br /> <br /> <br /> CHARTER:<br /> <br /> The newsgroup line is:<br /> <br /> comp.sys.mac.programmer.info Frequently requested information.<br /> <br /> The charter (extracted from the CFV):<br /> <br /> A moderated newsgroup for posting FAQ&#039;s, digests, convention and<br /> release announcements, &quot;columns&quot; by developers and industry insiders,<br /> contact information, reviews, bulletins and any frequently requested<br /> information relating to development for the Macintosh computer system.<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.mac.programmer.info<br /> comp.sys.mac.programmer.help<br /> comp.sys.mac.announce<br /> <br /> The proponent will also post pointers to:<br /> <br /> comp.sys.mac.databases<br /> comp.sys.mac.graphics<br /> comp.sys.mac.hypercard<br /> comp.sys.mac.oop.powerplant<br /> comp.sys.mac.programmer.codewarrior<br /> comp.sys.mac.programmer.misc<br /> comp.sys.mac.programmer.tools<br /> comp.sys.mac.scitech<br /> comp.infosystems.www.servers.mac<br /> comp.lang.forth.mac<br /> comp.unix.aux<br /> comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc<br /> <br /> <br /> PROPONENT: <br /> <br /> Jim Riley &lt;jimrtex@pipeline.com&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY: <br /> <br /> 2007-04-27 1st RFD<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
