  • New group proposal: alt.os.cpv

    From Iron Spring Software@Peter_Flass@Yahoo.com to alt.config on Mon Aug 1 12:52:56 2022
    From Newsgroup: alt.config

    For your newsgroups file:
    alt.os.cpv Community newsgroup for users of the Xerox CP-V operating system.

    CHARTER:
    Discussion of Xerox CP-V and related Sigma operating systems including BPM/BTM, UTS, and CP-R.

    JUSTIFICATION:
    Work with simh has reached a point at which it is now possible to boot
    CP-V. Several developers have been involved in this project, and it
    should now be possible to move to the stage at which general users are
    able to run CP-V.

    This group is similar to other newsgroups for discontinued operating
    systems such as alt.os.multics, alt.os.beos, and alt.windows95.

    Is it CPV or CP-V? Is the latter, then alt.os.cp-v in the group name.

    The description is a phrase made up of key words; don't use community or newsgroup as they aren't key words, and don't repeat CP-V. What else
    tersely describes the operating system? Why was it written?

    CHARTER:
    Discussion of Xerox CP-V and related Sigma operating systems including >BPM/BTM, UTS, and CP-R.

    Where are these operating systems being discussed RIGHT NOW on Usenet?
    Have you started on topic threads in newsgroups so that you are known
    for discussing the operating systems?

    JUSTIFICATION:
    Work with simh has reached a point at which it is now possible to boot
    CP-V. Several developers have been involved in this project, and it
    should now be possible to move to the stage at which general users are
    able to run CP-V.

    Justification is a count of articles in which the topic is discussed,
    not just mentioned incidentally, so the proponent knows where to promote
    the group. At a minimum, you want an average of 10 articles of
    discussion a day over a recent 90 day period.

    This group is similar to other newsgroups for discontinued operating
    systems such as alt.os.multics, alt.os.beos, and alt.windows95.

    Give me a break. This is irrelevant. Are you saying this is a
    discontinued operating system?
