- Dateline August 25, 1986
- ------------------------
- From: Shane O'Neill (800/1)
- To : All COLLIE SYSOPS/USERS
- Re : Vote Result
- ------------------------
-
- The votes are in! We have tabulated all the votes in which we were
- voting on whether to (1) Have a rewrite of Collie in Turbo for
- October and push back Perspective to Spring or (2) Keep writing
- Perspective for Christmas. I did not see as many votes cast as I
- would have liked, but for those of you who didn't vote, this
- decision is FINAL and will stand.
-
- The votes have determined that there will be (drumroll, please)
- a TURBO REWRITE of COLLIE to be out sometime NEAR October (no
- release promises as of yet).
-
- ATTENTION--------VERY IMPORTANT
- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
- If you wish to see an enhancement, addition, fix, or any other
- kind of change to COLLIE 2.0, we need to have your comments
- NOW! Not a month before the release! Please send them like this:
-
- You may want to have area boards submit suggestions to ONE main
- board and have him compile them and upload them to an ALPHA or
- BETA board. All files must end up at 800/1, ON THE BRINK.
-
- Best ways to send your suggestions (from best to worst):
- 1 -- A file to ON THE BRINK
- 2 -- A message in COLLIE/PERSPECTIVE suggestions area at ON THE BRINK
- 3 -- A comment at ON THE BRINK
- 4 -- A file to your nearest ALPHA/BETA board
- 5 -- A netmail message to ON THE BRINK
- 6 -- Phone call
-
- NOTE: Make sure your file is labelled with your name and if available,
- the name and net/node number of your COLLIE BBS! Write down the name
- and number of your bbs if you are not in the collie network! If you
- are sending several files at once, please clearly separate the suggestions
- from different users and sysops. This will make it easier on us to check
- for duplications, etc.
-
- As you can see, directly sending your info to OTB is the best way.
- We would like your files/messages in by Mid-September at the latest.
- We need time to organize and then implement them. We have decided
- not to use all the 'best' ideas with Collie, but rather 'save' them
- for Perspective. Although many will be used as well.
-
- MAJOR objectives that WILL be reached with COLLIE 2.0:
-
- -- 100% Fido compatibility with Netmail/File Attached
- -- Telink, Ymodem, and MAYBE Kermit will be supported (suggestions?)
- -- Message bases can be turned 'off/on' so when a user chooses
- [A]ll boards, only the ON boards will be shown
- -- ONLINE programs will, of course, become fully functional
-
- ALPHA/BETA SITES:
-
- You are responsible for relaying any files your receive from
- sysops/users on suggestions for COLLIE 2.0 to my board. Please
- do so ASAP! Thank you!
- -------
-
- The DEVELOPMENT team members have been talking about our plans for
- COLLIE 2.0 for some time and we expect to have an excellent BBS system
- in due time. Then, of course comes Perspective which will be
- something to see! Let's work together on this! Thank you!
