CHARTER OF COMP.INFOSYSTEMS.KIOSKS



comp.infosystems.kiosks will be used to discuss kiosks in general

including issues such as prototype development, security, human

factors, hardware, transactional systems, ongoing and/or beginning

kiosk programs, and any other issues relating to kiosks.  This group

is moderated because of the increasingly higher volume of garbage

posts such as MAKE.MONEY.FAST and the GREEN CARD LOTTERY.  The

moderators will do their best to have a fast turnaround on message

posting and all messages that have anything to do with kiosks will be

posted.  The moderators are not there to judge message content but to

avoid garbage-crossposting.



Moderators are Arthur Lee Wilson (dknight@lanl.gov) and Anne T.

Gilman (atg@c3serve.c3.lanl.gov).  The address used to moderate the

group will be kiosks@lanl.gov and the kiosks-request@lanl.gov will be

an alias to dknight@lanl.gov.



This group will also be bidirectionally gatewayed to a mailing list,

kiosks-l@lanl.gov.



Finally, there will be an ftp site for archived messages, etc.



The original RFD for the group was:



Los Alamos National Laboratory is working on a number of projects

involving kiosks.  One such project is the Digital Village, a testbed

for telecommunity infrastructure technologies.  Kiosks will play a

significant role in this testbed.  Our major concerns involving kiosks

are security, human factors, and prototype development.  We would like

to share our information and foster a dialogue on these topics and

issues.  The purpose of this group is to be a clearing house for

information concerning kiosk-based information and transaction

systems.  We are primarily interested in local, state and federal

programs, but discussion would also be encouraged for other endeavors

using kiosks.



HISTORY OF THE GROUP:



comp.infosystems.kiosks is a moderated newsgroup which passed its vote for

creation by 174:32 as reported in news.announce.newgroups on 12 July 1994.



PROPONENT:



Alexander Bartolich <alexander.bartolich@gmx.at>
