    REPLACEMENT MODERATOR FOUND
    comp.sys.wearables

    The Big-8 Management Board is pleased to announce that Greg Pfeil has volunteered to moderate the newsgroup comp.sys.wearables. He was one of
    the group's original moderators when it was first created in 1998 and
    has agreed to return to the role. The group is now open for submissions.


    MODERATOR INFO

    Moderator: Greg Pfeil
    Article submission address: <csw@nan.users.panix.com>
    Moderation team contact: <comp-sys-wearables-moderator@technomadic.org>


    CHARTER

    A forum for the creation and distribution of wearable computer systems
    and their software as well as for the dissemination of knowledge on
    these subjects. Appropriate topics of discussion would include choosing
    the architechture and O/S for a wearable system; product preferences
    including quality, specifications and applications; methods of
    constrution; and courses of study. Posting binaries is discouraged,
    technical diagrams necessary to the construction of systems and other
    such binaries should be accessed via a link to an FTP or Web site.

    Posts on semi-wearables, such as pen systems and PDAs should be posted
    to their respective newsgroups, not comp.sys.wearables.

    Commercial advertisements, political discussions (except those dealing
    with the acceptiblity of wearable systems), flames, etc. are not
    appropriate in this group. The general "netiquette" FAQs posted in news.announce.newusers and news.answers all apply to comp.sys.wearables.


    MODERATION POLICY

    (Taken from Message-ID: <m21pvpzi8t.fsf@technomadic.org>)

    In the 16 years since the last post to this group, wearable computing
    has rapidly moved forward. Everything from smart watches, heads-up
    displays, and of course, the pocket-sized devices that are so much more powerful than the PC/104 half-cube I built in my dorm room decades ago.

    But what exists outside of those spaces? What has the mainsteam industry overlooked or gotten wrong? What wild thing have you built to address
    some need that isn't being satisfied elsewhere? Please share it here.

    Also note that this group is moderated, but anything even tangentially
    relevant is accepted, so long as posters abide by the Contributor
    Covenant
    (https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/2/1/code_of_conduct/). The
    last version of the posting guidelines (from over 20 years ago) can
    still be found at https://groups.google.com/g/comp.sys.wearables/c/1ft995kLzXg. Please
    follow them for the time being, but feel free to bring it up to me or
    the group if you feel any of it should be updated.
