2nd CALL FOR VOTES
------------------
NEWSGROUP:
comp.soft-sys.matlab
STATUS:
Unmoderated
RATIONALE:
Discussed in RFD: see <BxnGH...@uunet.uu.net>.
CHARTER:
The newsgroup 'comp.soft-sys.matlab' is a forum for discussing issues
related to the use of Matlab, the scientific calculation and
visualization package from MathWorks Inc. This includes discussion of
similar software packages which are also derived from the original
public domain Matlab, such as Xmath from Integrated Systems Inc.
CONTENT:
Appropriate discussion in the group will include both general
Matlab issues and platform-specific questions, and discussion
comparing Matlab to other systems. Some examples:
General Matlab issues
Answers to novices' questions, with an evolving FAQ
Exchange of public-domain Matlab source code
Use of commercial toolboxes (advice, bugs, etc.)
Implementation of numerical algorithms
etc.
Platform-specific issues
Graphical output
Interface to external programs
etc.
Comparison to other systems
MATRIXx/Xmath, and to a lesser extent Mathematica, AVS, Khoros, etc.
VOTING INSTRUCTIONS AND ADDRESSES:
All votes should be sent to
matla...@nova.Stanford.EDU [36.10.0.123]
"Yes" votes (in support of the formation of comp.soft-sys-matlab as
described) should contain a line of the form:
I vote YES for the creation of comp.soft-sys.matlab.
"No" votes (in opposition of the formation of comp.soft-sys-matlab as
described) should contain a line of the form:
I vote NO for the creation of comp.soft-sys.matlab.
Variations in subject line format and message body will be accepted
as long as the intent is clearly expressed.
Voting Rules:
- One vote per person. If you vote more than once, only the *last* of
those votes will count. Therefore if you change your mind about
the vote, you can send a new vote, which invalidates the old vote,
as long as it is within the voting period.
- Ambiguous votes will be invalidated.
Ambiguous votes contain neither YES nor NO, or contain both,
or are conditional, such as "I vote ... if ..."
- Votes posted to any newsgroup will NOT be counted.
- According to the USENET rules, in order for the new group to be created,
at least 2/3 of the votes must be "YES", and there must be at least 100
more "YES" votes than "NO" votes.
- For more details on the voting rules being followed, refer to article
<spaf-howto...@cs.purdue.edu> in news.announce.newgroups.
VOTING PERIOD:
Votes will be collected for a period beginning when this CFV is
approved for publication in news.announce.newgroups and ending on
Thursday January 7, 1993, at 23:59 GMT. Votes received after the
expiry of the voting period will be discarded.
You may change your vote at any time before the expiry of the voting
period by simply submitting a new vote. The last vote to be cast by
any given individual before the end of the voting period will be
counted; earlier votes cast by that individual will be discarded.
Votes will be periodically acknowledged in news.announce.newgroups,
without revealing how each person voted. At the end of the voting
period, a final acknowledgement will be made showing how all people
voted. If the group passes the vote and no serious objections are
raised during a 5 day waiting period, the group will be created.
VOTE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:
The following votes had been received as of 9:00AM PST 17 December.
Note that there are several name formats, so be sure to search the
entire list. If you voted several days before 17 December and do not
find yourself in the list, simply vote again from the same email
address. As described above, your most recent vote invalidates all
previous votes.
