Subject: File 1--Pack your bags -- Cud's moving!
Those who receive CuD via Usenet probably know the news by now: the
`comp.society.cu-digest' vote is over and the newsgroup has been
approved. This is good news -- even to the non-Usenet readers.
Moving CuD out of the anarchistic `alt' hierarchy and into the
mainstream `comp' distribution potentially brings a lot of new readers
into the fray. (It also somehow gives an added air of legitimacy to
the CuD.)
A summary of the voting results appears towards the end of this
message. There will be another week or two for the voting results to
be reviewed before comp.society.cu-digest is actually created.
If you are a Usenet reader who could not receive the CuD via
alt.society.cu-digest, I urge you to drop your mailing list
subscription once comp.society.cu-digest is operational. Yes, you
will receive your CuD in the handy, easy-to-read Usenet format,
without a single word edited, modified, or expunged! By switching
over to Usenet you will save wear and tear on both our network
bandwidth and our esteemed editors.
If you are a Usenet administrator -- or know somebody who is a Usenet
administrator or aspire to someday become a Usenet administrator :-)
please note the following:
* The name of the new newsgroup will be `comp.society.cu-digest'.
* The newsgroup will be moderated, and the address for submissions
will be the CuD editors at <tk0jut2@mvs.cso.niu.edu>.
* If you maintain a `mailpaths' file, please ensure you update it
properly.
* Once the new newsgroup is operational, the CuD will be cross-posted
into both `comp.society.cu-digest' and `alt.society.cu-digest'
for a period of approximately one month. This will give Usenet
administrators and CuD readers a chance to switch over.
* After that one month period, the `alt.society.cu-digest' newsgroup
will be decommissioned.
* Please do NOT alias the old name to the new name. The proposed
changeover strategy should alleviate any such need.
Thanks to all who participated in the vote. If you have any questions
or concerns about the newsgroup vote or the Usenet gateway, feel free
to drop me a line.
Here are the final voting results:
PROPOSAL: comp.society.cu-digest
CHARTER: The Computer Underground Digest (moderated)
SUMMARY: This newsgroup will be used to distribute the Computer
Underground Digest. The CuD is an open forum for
issues relating to the phenomena of computer cracking.
It has been in publication since 1990, and is widely
distributed in a number of electronic forms. The CuD
has been distributed via alt.society.cu-digest. The
alt.society.cu-digest newsgroup will be decommissioned
once the new newsgroup is stable.
