THIRD REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)
unmoderated group comp.mobile.android
LAST CALL FOR COMMENTS

This is a formal Request for Discussion (RFD) for the creation of the
unmoderated newsgroup comp.mobile.android.

NEWSGROUPS LINE:
comp.mobile.android Discussing Android devices / OS.

RATIONALE:

This newsgroup is meant to form a new group for the discussion and
mutual support of the Android OS devices.

Mainly discussion is planned to be about Android OS - based mobile
phones, but also tablets and everything else Android - based. Newsgroup
is not planned only as a place for end - users, but for everyone using /
programming for: Android smartphones / devices / mobile computers.

Currently, discussion of Android is mainly nonexistent on Usenet. But
popular in Google Groups - many groups could be found about Android,
both OS and devices. Also quite popular on the web - many forums exist.

Also discussion in comp.mobile.ipad has shown that there are persons
waiting for an Android newsgroup to be created, better as Big-8 group.
(One person claimed that he "doesn't touches alt.*".)

The following people have expressed support for the group in posts to
news.groups.proposals.

Andy Burns <68udnXT7Vt2oGi7NnZ2dnUVZ8iadnZ2d@brightview.co.uk>

CHARTER:

comp.mobile.android is an unmoderated group for the users of
Android OS: users of smartphones, tablet PCs, netbooks, other devices,
including, but not limited to, software problems, hardware problems,
discussing ideas of what program is suitable for chosen purposes, and
what hardware is suitable for using specific software written for
Android OS and which OS version (firmware modification) is suitable for
chosen program / task / device.

Posters are expected to abide by normal Usenet standards of decorum,
and to ignore any articles intended to disrupt the newsgroup. Spam is
PROHIBITED. Advertising is NOT allowed. Newsgroup is text only. (That
means: no binaries.)

PROCEDURE:

Please refer to the newsgroup creation policies listed here:

Those who wish to influence the development of this RFD and its final
resolution should subscribe to news.groups.proposals and participate
in the relevant threads in that newsgroup. This is both a courtesy to

criticisms are heard.
