RFD: remove comp.sources.amiga

remove comp.sources.amiga
This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) to remove the moderated
newsgroup comp.sources.amiga.
RATIONALE: Remove comp.sources.amiga
The last approved message was in July 1998.
There are other more suitable means of distributing program sources,
so comp.sources.amiga is not a suitable candidate for conversion to an
unmoderated newsgroup.
HISTORY:
The newsgroup comp.sources.amiga was created in January 1987 to replace
the moderated newsgroup mod.amiga.sources. I could locate no charter for
the newsgroup. The newsgroup line was:
comp.sources.amiga Source code-only postings for the Amiga. (Moderated)
PROCEDURE:
The full (draft) group removal procedure is documented here:
http://www.big-8.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=policies:rmgroup
Those who wish to comment on this request to remove this newsgroup should
subscribe to news.groups and participate in the relevant threads in that
newsgroup.
To this end, the followup header of this RFD has been set to news.groups.
All discussion of active proposals should be posted to news.groups.
If desired by the readership of closely affected groups, the discussion
may be crossposted to those groups, but care must be taken to ensure that
all discussion appears in news.groups as well.
DISTRIBUTION:
This RFD has been posted to the following newsgroups:
news.announce.newgroups
news.groups
comp.sources.amiga
comp.sys.amiga.misc
comp.sys.amiga.programmer
PROPONENT:
Jim Riley <jim...@pipeline.com>
