CHARTER OF COMP.LANG.JAVA.ANNOUNCE



  This moderated, low-volume group is for Java-related announcements,

  including:



    o  new releases of software

       (compilers, development kits, browsers, etc.)

    o  new publicly accessible applets

    o  events (user group meetings, conferences, etc.)

    o  new packages or announcements of official specification changes.



  This is not a discussion group (posts that are likely to generate

  discussion should have follow-ups set to one of the other Java groups).



  Moderation policy:



  The intent of moderation is to ensure this is a low-noise group, and to

  prevent excessive advertising by any single company.  Posts announcing

  commercial products are acceptable, providing they are kept to a

  reasonable frequency.

  It is not appropriate to post binary classfiles or long source listings

  on any of these groups. Instead, the post should reference a WWW or FTP

  site (short source snippets to demonstrate a particular point or problem

  are fine).



HISTORY OF THE GROUP:



comp.lang.java.announce is a moderated newsgroup which passed its vote for

creation by 491:38 as reported in news.announce.newgroups on 11 Jun 1996.



PROPONENT:



Alexander Bartolich <alexander.bartolich@gmx.at>
