  • Combination of the comp.lang.pascal.* newsgroups

    From Dr Engelbert Buxbaum@engelbert_buxbaum@hotmail.com to news.groups.proposals on Fri Nov 14 08:25:01 2025
    From Newsgroup: news.groups.proposals



    In the 90's, when there were dozens of messages
    per day, the comp.lang.pascal newsgroup was
    split into several sub-groups. Given the now
    much smaller rate of messages, I would like to
    propose that they be recombined again.

    This would also take into account the
    considerable overlap in the topics of these
    groups. In addition, it would make things easier
    for newcomers.

    Is there a special procedure that needs to be
    followed?

    Thanks

    Engelbert

    Reasonable idea. Technically that means to create comp.lang.pascal and
    delete the other groups.

    This would also take into account the
    considerable overlap in the topics of these
    groups. In addition, it would make things easier

    The charters can be changed too.

    Yes, there will be various RfCs that cover the topic and give people a possibility for feedback. https://www.big-8.org/wiki/Content_and_Format_of_a_Request_for_Discussion_(RFD)

    We will discuss that in out next meeting.

    That's because the line has been wrapped in the middle of the link.
