- At present there is no newsgroup in Usenet devoted to the discussion
- of fault tolerance.
-
- While we were discussing the creation of 'comp.sys.stratus', several
- people expressed a desire to see the creation of a related newsgroup.
- The best name proposed was 'comp.arch.fault-tolerant', and its charter
- would be broad enough to encompass systems that are configured for
- "high availability" (the latest buzzterm) as well as systems that are
- designed from the ground up for "hard" fault-tolerance.
-
- Perhaps the time is ripe to issue a Request for Discussion (RFD) on
- the creation of 'comp.arch.fault-tolerant'. Would one of the folks
- who previously advocated this idea like to take on the task of
- cheerleading an effort to create the group?
-
- I've set the follow-up newsgroup for this message to "news.groups",
- since that is really where the matter of creating the "c.a.f-t" group
- should be discussed.
