REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)<br />
unmoderated group misc.phone.mobile.android<br />
This is a formal Request for Discussion (RFD) for the creation of the<br />
unmoderated newsgroup misc.phone.mobile.android<br />
<br />
NEWSGROUPS LINE:<br />
misc.phone.mobile.android Mobile phones and other devices running<br />
Android OS.<br />
<br />
RATIONALE:<br />
<br />
This newsgroup is meant to form a new group for the discussion and<br />
mutual support of the Android OS devices.<br />
<br />
Mainly discussion is planned to be about Android OS - based mobile<br />
phones, but also tablets and everything else Android - based. misc.*<br />
have been chosen just to show it's more about consumer Android devices<br />
than programming for Android and technical things; but that doesn't<br />
mean newsgroup is planned ONLY as a place for end - users, but for<br />
everyone using and / or programming for Android devices / smartphones.<br />
<br />
Currently, discussion of Android is mainly nonexistent on Usenet. But <br />
popular in Google Groups - many groups could be found about Android, <br />
both OS and devices. Also quite popular on the web - many forums exist.<br />
<br />
Also discussion in comp.mobile.ipad shown that there are persons<br />
waiting for Android newsgroup to be created, better as Big-8 group.<br />
(One person claimed that he "doesn't touches alt.*".)<br />
<br />
CHARTER:<br />
<br />
misc.phone.mobile.android is an unmoderated group for the users of<br />
Android OS: users of mobile phones, tablet PC's, microcomputers, etc,<br />
including, but not limited to, software problems, hardware problems,<br />
discussing ideas of what program is suitable for chosen purposes, and<br />
what hardware is suitable for using specific software written for<br />
Android OS and which Android OS version is suitable for chosen program.<br />
<br />
Posters are expected to abide by normal Usenet standards of decorum,<br />
and to ignore articles intended to disrupt the group. Spam is <br />
prohibited. Advertising is allowed only if program, device, or<br />
anything else is either running Android OS, clearly made for Android OS, <br />
or being marketed towards users of devices running Android OS.<br />
(Advertisers: follow common sense! Others follow it, too.)<br />
<br />
