CHARTER OF COMP.LANG.PASCAL.DELPHI.ANNOUNCE<br />
<br />
A moderated newsgroup for the posting of announcements and information<br />
relating to Borland Delphi. This includes one-shot announcements such<br />
as:<br />
<br />
New/revised components, libraries and tools for Delphi<br />
Publication of books and magazines on using Delphi<br />
Web and FTP sites devoted to Delphi<br />
Users-group formation and meetings<br />
<br />
In addition periodic postings such as Delphi FAQs, FAQ pointers and<br />
HOWTOs are encouraged.<br />
<br />
Among the types of article not appropriate for posting are employment<br />
related announcements or articles containing binaries or significant<br />
amounts of source code. In all cases, follow ups are to be directed<br />
elsewhere in the comp.lang.pascal.delphi.* hierarchy.<br />
<br />
The purpose of moderation is to keep the group within its fairly<br />
narrow charter. Follow ups and other general posts are to be rejected<br />
with a pointer to a more suitable group. It is also the moderator's<br />
duty to verify the URLs of Web and FTP sites to confirm that they are<br />
reachable and contain Delphi related material.<br />
<br />
HISTORY OF THE GROUP:<br />
<br />
comp.lang.pascal.delphi.announce is a moderated newsgroup which passed its<br />
vote for creation by 219:21 as reported in news.announce.newgroups on<br />
12 Apr 1996.<br />
<br />
PROPONENT:<br />
<br />
Alexander Bartolich <alexander.bartolich@gmx.at><br />
<br />
PROCEDURE:<br />
<br />

<br />
In the course of the removal process four formal announcements are posted<br />
(MVI, 1st RFD, 2nd RFD, and LCC), each taking two weeks. At the end of the<br />
process the B8MB will vote on the issue.<br />
