-
- I think that three of the proposed newgroups will cover bugs:
- .ver1x -> bugs and discussion of OS/2 1.x
- .setup -> bugs, and driver & hardware questions for OS/2 2.x (but this
- group cannot be RFDed until March)
- .beta -> bugs and suggestions for current and future OS/2 betas
-
- In addition, the proposed .announce (moderated) will include IBM
- workarounds for bugs, among other things.

- To remind everyone, these are the proposed (but not yet RFDed) OS/2
- newsgroups:
- comp.os.os2.ver1x
- comp.os.os2.beta
- comp.os.os2.announce (moderated) [we still need a moderator]
-
- And these proposed newsgroups can be RFDed in March:
- comp.os.os2.setup
- comp.os.os2.programmer.porting
- comp.os.os2.programmer.misc [this is a rename of comp.os.os2.programmer]
-
- Can anyone think of more OS/2 newsgroups that we may need but is not
- covered by these proposed newsgroups, or the current ones? Post any
- more suggestions.
-
- BTW, thanks to all who have posted suggestions on new OS/2 newsgroups
- so far, even if your suggestion(s) have not made it to the "proposed"
- status. Your suggestion(s) have allow the charters of the proposed
- newsgroups to be better defined.
