RATIONALE: comp.std.cli
There are no newsgroups to discuss the ECMA/ISO Standard for the Common
Language Infrastructure (CLI). There are multiple implementations of
this standard; including the Microsoft product C#, Mono, Rotor and
DotGNU; and a forum for the discussion of the Standard and possible
future directions would be of benefit to the community. The ECMA
Technical Groups for the CLI and C# are proposing this newsgroup and
will monitor the postings.
CHARTER: comp.std.cli
The purpose of this newsgroup shall be to establish and maintain a forum
for the open discussion of issues related to the ECMA/ISO CLI Standard.
Topics may include but are not limited to matters such as the following:
- Meaning of the Standard
- Implementation of the Standard
- Issues arising from implementing the Standard on different hosts
- Possible errors/omissions in the Standard
- Possible future directions of the Standard
ECMA and ISO have formal procedures for input to, and reporting errors in,
Standards. This group will in no way replace those procedures. The group
is intended as a forum for the community. However the ECMA Technical
Group for the Standard will monitor and take note of discussions on the
newsgroup.
END CHARTER.
