2nd RFD: comp.databases.mysql

[William Drew]

REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)
unmoderated group comp.databases. mysql

This is an invitation to discuss the following proposal to create newsgroup
comp.databases. mysql. Please note that YOU CANNOT VOTE NOW; you may be
able to vote on a version of this proposal later. See the PROCEDURE section
below if you need information about how the discussion works.

PLEASE POST ANY FOLLOWUPS TO THE NEWSGROUP NEWS.GROUPS.

Newsgroup line:
comp.databases. mysql MySQL RDBMS technical discussions.

CHANGES from previous RFD:

Minor changes in syntax have been made to the newsgroup line, rationale, and
charter sections of this proposal.

RATIONALE: comp.databases. mysql

MySQL is a relational database server that is finding increasingly wide
acceptance as a back end solution for developing data-driven web sites and
applications.

There is no dedicated newsgroup for MySQL in the comp.* hierarchy and, as a
result, most of the discussions of MySQL take place in the comp.lang.php
newsgroup. This is unsatisfactory because MySQL is not in any intrinsic way
related to the PHP language, and users of MySQL who do not use it in
conjunction with PHP front ends are unlikely to know to look for discussions
of MySQL there. In addition, discussion of issues related to MySQL but not
to PHP are off-topic for comp.lang.php. A new group specifically for MySQL
would offer a place where all users of MySQL could participate without
risking being off-topic for the group and where all users of MySQL could
easily discover the group.

CHARTER: comp.databases. mysql

This newsgroup comp.databases. mysql is a forum for technical discussion of
the MySQL relational database management system. All topics that pertain to
using, learning, developing, maintaining or improving MySQL are on-topic in
this newsgroup.

Posting of advertising and/or promotional material of any kind to
comp.databases. mysql is explicitly prohibited. Posting of binaries is not
permitted, with the exception of small binary components in otherwise
non-binary postings, such as PGP signatures or X-Face headers. Posts must
be readable as plain text. HTML, RTF and similarly formatted messages are
prohibited

END CHARTER.

PROCEDURE

When an RFD appears, it begins a process called the newsgroup creation
process. The first stage of that process is the discussion period, and
that's the stage that's now in effect.

During the discussion period, the object is indeed to discuss whether this
proposal should be enacted, and to discuss any potential problems with it
and how to resolve them. Because the RFD has a Followup-To header pointing
to news.groups, discussion will be posted there. Therefore, if you want to
be heard in the discussion, you should post your own posts in news.groups
too. Similarly, if you want to read the discussion, you should be prepared
to read it in news.groups.

During the discussion period, the proponents may issue new drafts of the
proposal, perhaps with major changes: "2nd RFD", "3rd RFD", etc. Please do
not assume that these will be the same as this draft; please make a point of
reading each, if you wish to avoid surprises.

Following the discussion period, there may be a second stage, called a
voting period. This cannot begin until 21 days after the first RFD, *and*
10 days after the last RFD. The proponents decide whether to ask for a
voting period. If a voting period is requested by the proponents, then a
neutral vote taker will post a Call For Votes, or CFV, whose appearance
begins the voting period. The CFV will contain instructions on how to go
about voting. You cannot vote until the CFV appears. If you want to be
sure of seeing any CFV, but you don't want to read the discussion, you may
wish to subscribe to news.announce.n ewgroups, a low-volume group consisting
mostly of RFDs, CFVs, and related posts.

For further information about this process, please see "Guidelines for Big
Eight Newsgroup Creation" in news.announce.n ewgroups. This post tries to
obey all guidelines in that post and in "How to Format and Submit a New
Group Proposal". Please refer to these documents if you have further
questions.

DISTRIBUTION:

The RFD has been posted directly to the following newsgroups:

news.announce.n ewgroups
news.groups
comp.lang.php
alt.php.sql
alt.php

Pointer messages to this RFD will be posted to:

comp.databases

HOW TO VOTE:

In order to vote on this proposal you will first need to request a registered
ballot. This is accomplished by sending an email to the address specified
below from the email account that you intend to use when you submit the ballot
for processing. The Subject: and body of the message does not matter. They
can both be blank (preferred) if your software will allow that.

PLEASE, do not send this entire message back to me as this mail is archived.

Mail your ballot request to: <mysql-ballot@netagw.c om>
Just "replying" to this message should work, but check the "To:" line.

When your email message is received, a reply message will be sent to you with
further instructions regarding how to vote. You will also receive a copy of
the CFV which will contain a ballot that is registered for use only for this
CFV, and only when submitted from the exact same address that originally
requested it.

IMPORTANT VOTING PROCEDURE NOTES:

Standard Guidelines for voting apply. 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 RESULT posting.

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.n ewgroups
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 <contact@uvv.or g>. 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 <mysql-cfv-request@netagw. com>.

This CFV has been posted to the following newsgroups:

news.announce.n ewgroups

RATIONALE: comp.databases. mysql

MySQL is a relational database server that is finding increasingly
wide acceptance as a back end solution for developing data-driven web
sites and applications.

There is no dedicated newsgroup for MySQL in the comp.* hierarchy and,
as a result, most of the discussions of MySQL take place in the
comp.lang.php newsgroup. This is unsatisfactory because MySQL is not
in any intrinsic way related to the PHP language, and users of MySQL
who do not use it in conjunction with PHP front ends are unlikely to
know to look for discussions of MySQL there. In addition, discussion
of issues related to MySQL but not to PHP are off-topic for
comp.lang.php. A new group specifically for MySQL would offer a place
where all users of MySQL could participate without risking being
off-topic for the group and where all users of MySQL could easily
discover the group.

CHARTER: comp.databases. mysql

This newsgroup comp.databases. mysql is a forum for technical
discussion of the MySQL relational database management system. All
topics that pertain to using, learning, developing, maintaining or

RATIONALE: comp.databases. mysql

MySQL is a relational database server that is finding increasingly
wide acceptance as a back end solution for developing data-driven web
sites and applications.

There is no dedicated newsgroup for MySQL in the comp.* hierarchy and,
as a result, most of the discussions of MySQL take place in the
comp.lang.php newsgroup. This is unsatisfactory because MySQL is not
in any intrinsic way related to the PHP language, and users of MySQL
who do not use it in conjunction with PHP front ends are unlikely to
know to look for discussions of MySQL there. In addition, discussion
of issues related to MySQL but not to PHP are off-topic for
comp.lang.php. A new group specifically for MySQL would offer a place
where all users of MySQL could participate without risking being
off-topic for the group and where all users of MySQL could easily
discover the group.

CHARTER: comp.databases. mysql

discussion of the MySQL relational database management system. All
topics that pertain to using, learning, developing, maintaining or
improving MySQL are on-topic in this newsgroup.
