larry > FIRST CALL FOR VOTES (of 2) > unmoderated group comp.lang.coldfusion > >Newsgroups line: >comp.lang.coldfusion ColdFusion web application development. > >Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC, 26 Sep 2003. > >This vote is being conducted by a neutral third party. Questions about >the proposed group should be directed to the proponent. > >Proponent: Dave Hodder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Votetaker: Bill Aten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >RATIONALE: comp.lang.coldfusion > >The currently existing newsgroup alt.comp.lang.coldfusion is well >used. Not all news servers carry alt.* or alt.comp.lang.coldfusion, >however, essentially cutting off parts of the ColdFusion community. >Almost all servers carry the comp.* groups, however, which would make >the proposed group more accessible to users. > >(The idea of creating a ColdFusion group within comp.* was first >suggested in message <news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >on alt.comp.lang.coldfusion on 3 August 2003, where it received broad >support.) > >First released in 1995, ColdFusion was the first ever web application >server, with it's ColdFusion Markup Language being the first >programming language designed specifically for server-side web >application development. Now robust and scalable, there are multiple >implementations of ColdFusion available, including ColdFusion 5 and >ColdFusion MX from Macromedia, and the BlueDragon product family from >New Atlanta. With it's level of maturity, a group in the comp.lang.* >hierarchy seems appropriate. > >Finally, many news servers give posts to comp.* groups a longer >retention period than posts to alt.* groups, which would be an >additional benefit. > >CHARTER: comp.lang.coldfusion > >comp.lang.coldfusion is an unmoderated newsgroup for the discussion of >ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) and CFScript. Whilst primarily >focused around ColdFusion programming, ColdFusion configuration >issues involving products such as ColdFusion Server and BlueDragon >Server are also considered on-topic. > >Other topics which may be discussed in the context of the ColdFusion >environment include: development tools such as Dreamweaver and >ColdFusion Studio; CFX/JSP custom tags and external objects; and >frameworks/design patterns such as Fusebox and MVC. General web >development discussion unrelated to ColdFusion is off-topic and >belongs in a more appropriate group. > >Posts must be readable as plain text. Binary posts are not permitted, >with the exception of cryptographic signatures (e.g. PGP), which may >be used where appropriate. > >Relevant commercial posts are acceptable, but should be limited to one >per month per product. > >END CHARTER. > >HOW TO VOTE: > >Extract the ballot from the CFV by deleting everything before and after >the "BEGINNING OF BALLOT" and "END OF BALLOT" lines. Don't worry about >the spacing of the columns or any quote characters (">") that your >reply inserts. > >PLEASE, do not send the entire CFV back to me as this mail is archived. > >Mark the ballot and then MAIL it to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Just "replying" to this message should work, but check the "To:" line. > >In order to properly record your vote, please provide your REAL NAME >(or established Usenet handle) and indicate your desired vote in the >appropriate locations inside the ballot. > >Examples of how to properly indicate your vote: > > [ YES ] example.yes.vote > [ NO ] example.no.vote > [ ABSTAIN ] example.abstention > [ CANCEL ] example.cancellation > >DO NOT modify, alter or delete any information in this ballot! >If you do, the voting software will probably reject your ballot. > >If you do not receive an acknowledgment of your vote within three >days, contact the votetaker about the problem.

Only one vote per person, no >more than one vote per account. Votes must be mailed directly from >the voter to the votetaker. Anonymous, forwarded, or proxy votes >are not valid. Votes mailed by WWW/HTML/CGI forms are considered >to be anonymous votes. > >Vote counting is automated. Failure to follow these directions may >mean that your vote does not get counted. If you do not receive an >acknowledgment of your vote within three days, contact the votetaker >about the problem. It's your responsibility to make sure your vote >is registered correctly. Duplicate votes are resolved in favor of >the most recent valid vote. Names, addresses, and votes of all voters >will be published in the final voting results post. > >DO NOT redistribute this CFV in any manner whatsoever. The purpose of >a Usenet vote is to determine the genuine interest of persons who would >read a proposed newsgroup. Soliciting votes from disinterested parties >defeats this purpose. Only the votetaker, the news.announce.newgroups >moderator, and the proponent (if specifically authorized by the votetaker) >are permitted to distribute copies of this CFV. > >Distribution of pre-marked or otherwise modified copies of this CFV is >generally considered voting fraud and should be reported immediately to >the votetaker or the UVV <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. In cases where voting fraud >is determined to have occurred, it is standard operating procedure to >delete ALL votes submitted by the violator. When in doubt, ask the >votetaker. > >DISTRIBUTION: > >The only official sources for copies of this CFV are the locations listed >below, the UVV web site at http://www.uvv.org/, and the votetaker's e-mail >CFV server which can be reached at <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. > >This CFV has been posted to the following newsgroups: > >news.announce.newgroups >news.groups >alt.comp.lang.coldfusion >comp.infosystems.www.misc > -- Larry C.
