Directive Newsgroup

[Mehran Basti]

Dear Newsgroup:

Recently you have noticed that I have created new newsgroups as part
of a company to solve difficult issues related to the newsgroups:

http://groups.google.com/group/MBScimath?hl=en

http://groups.google.com/group/MBSciphysics?hl=en

and also this newsgroup in physics (public).

There are many advantages to the individuals as well as the public to
what I call a directive newsgroup. These are as follows:

1- we will have true identity of the posters clarified; this will help
more responsibility on the side of posters (Particularly when a fee
system is initiated).

2- Members must sign a contract of regulations regarding codes of
conduct in behavioral languages and other issues in their postings.

3- Members are obliged to restrict themselves to the subject matter of
their membership, thus in the newsgroup Sci.math, mainly mathematical
issues will be discussed.

4-The site may be open to the public or not. This is noted in their
contract.

Currently Basti Newsgroups Sci.math and Sci.physics are not open to
the public, i.e. only members can see and post articles.

But in Basti Newsgroup: Sci.com (public), the public can see the site
but only members can post articles.

I believe many university professors may not like to go public,
this system will give them a chance to get involved in a closed
environment (this is very essential for the quality of educational
system)

5-Some may like their articles to be seen in the public (but certainly
members can only post articles), then this will be noted in their
contract.

And we need to open up another site for this purpose (like
smoking or non-smoking sections! Sci.math (public) or Sci.math (non
public)).

6-This is an ideal system for teachers to be involved. We will then
have separate sites like for elementary, middle school math, as well
as college math, subject to member’s growth (also other subjects).

6a- we may have a system designed in such a way that an entire school
district can have their own public or closed sites.

A customized contract will be arranged for the benefit of a school
district.

7- In this case teachers can concentrate on problem solving of their
textbooks and all the other issues of this particular newsgroup will
focus on topics like elementary school math, physics, computer
science, etc.

8-The company is global, and many from different countries can join
and later on create their own franchises of the company in many
languages and in many countries, when the company created its name and
logo trademark in the future.

9-At this time the ideas are in their infancy and the sites of Basti
Newsgroups are experimental on Google site.

10- Company will hire professionals to direct each section of its
sites for the benefit of the member’s interests in variety of
dimensions.

11-If you would like many other branches of science and education,
please let us know.

12-Teachers may have a separate one contract for their school,
enrolling their students in a separate site (public or not).

These are many advantages of directive newsgroups that current system
is lacking.

We need to find a way to increase membership and marketing (as well as
advertising).

Particularly when the company transferred into a private site
(independent of Google).

One way would be to write a short article (in a newsgroup) and invite
people to see the entire article and its debates in this newsgroup.

The other ways could be for example encouraging your colleagues to
join you here (or see your articles).

Looks like to me the future name of the global company could be

“ Directive Newsgroup”

any other names could be recommended.

I expect this to be a highly successful company and you are one of its
pioneers and early members.

Members have chance to open up franchises in the future company.

You are welcome to suggest your ideas in this newsgroup.
