REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)
unmoderated group comp.lang.go

This is a formal Request for Discussion (RFD) for the creation of the unmoderated comp.lang.go group

The response to the RFD (at least in this thread) has been uniformly
positive, though it has so far attracted only three responses. I note
that there has been some ancillary discussion of the proposed group in
the previous, pre-RFD thread at <news:t20mgj$tjt$1@dont-email.me>.

In light of the newsgroup creation guide at <https://www.big-8.org/wiki/How_to_Create_a_New_Big-8_Newsgroup> and the
FAQ at <https://www.big-8.org/wiki/Newsgroup_Creation_FAQ>, the
proponent may wish to consider what steps to take next. Some options:

1. Renew efforts to publicize this ongoing RFD in hopes of attracting
further participants.

2. Issue a second RFD here, with revisions arising from the discussions
up until now, and make an effort to publicize it.

3. Ask the Board if they agree that it is time to end the discussion,
and if so, submit a final RFD to the Board so that they can issue a
final call for comments before their vote.

4. Formally withdraw the RFD.

If the proponent takes no action, the Board may eventually consider the
RFD to be abandoned, in which case it will be ignored or rejected.

Regards,
Tristan

I do not know if others think is ready or not, but we can do a second
revision if people think there should be any changes but if no changes,
we could do a final one?

I saw at least 5-6 positive reactions, of people that will read or agree
with the creation of it at some point.
Def I do not want to abandon it :)


Thanks

+1. I would likely subscribe to such a group, although I don't really know enough about Go to contribute.

+1. Count me in, I would gladly subscribe and contribute to the group. I haven't coded much in it lately, but if this proposal is accepted I will
share my experiences while exploring it again.

So far I don't like Go, but maybe c.l.go can change that. So I'm
planning to at least read c.l.go for a while.

That depends on whether the discussions have given you reason to want to update the content of the RfD. If so, then yes, feel free to issue a
second RfD incorporating the necessary revisions.

If, on the other hand, you see no need to revise the content of the RfD,
then you can e-mail the Big-8 Management Board to ask them to issue a
final call for comments, after which the Board will vote on the RfD.

Thanks Tristan,
I really did not hear any complain regarthing the original RFD, other
than maybe Changing Go to go or viceversa.

I guess the email address is on the big-8 website right? I will take a
look this weekend and send it.

Thanks, let me know if there is anything else I should take in
consideration.

DISTRIBUTION:
- news.announce.newgroups

I will also put a notice on the matrix golang room

PROPONENT:
Name: ReK2
Email: rek2@hispagatos.org
blog gemini: gemini://rek2.hispagatos.org

RATIONALE:
- On usenet at the moment there are only computer programming languages that
were around the 80's and 90'spamdto be able to bring more people
and keep there new comers to usenet we need updated groupswhere
where people will find interesting to log in on a daily basis.

CHARTER:
- comp.lang.go will be a unmoderated group, people
interested in the GO programming language
can share ideas and topics, help eachother and keep up
with interesting projects and news related to
the go programming language

CHANGE HISTORY:
2023-07-04 1st RFD.

Yes! A Golang group would be great. I just joined usenet last night and
Go was one of the first language groups I checked for since its my go-to language.

I'm new to usenet but if there is a way to help get this group started
or if I need to vote somewhere or something let me know.

I'd change that to:

for easier finding (by its traditional name).

Otherwise, users searching just for "go" in list of hundreds of thousands of newsgroups would probably grow frustrated
pretty quick.

True.

Is possible if they use a generic search engine but if they look for comp.lang.* not many groups if none starts with go* so not sure why this
will be hard to find. Just wondering.
