Summary: Mod.projects!


I think mod.projects.software is a good idea, or at least, worth trying
(though I don't expect to be involved with it myself).  I have sent a Yes
vote to Andrew Burt, who proposed it.

However, I think it ought to be mod.projects.  The usual criterion for
new groups applies: we don't need the subgroup until the traffic justifies it.
At least one past attempt to create a group and subgroup together,
net.astro.expert, has been less than a success.  I propose to amend
Andrew's proposal by suggesting the creation of mod.projects only.
(We'd have to create that anyway; a subgroup has to have a parent.)

Since I am proposing only an amendment, please MAIL your remarks on this
TO ANDREW, not me.  I presume you wouldn't have anything to say unless you
were going to mail him a Yes or No anyway; so what I'm trying to do is to
keep the voting in one place.  (I haven't asked his permission to post
this, but he said he was going away now.  I hope everybody will think I
am being reasonable.)
