This development has grown to cover more operating systems not covered by the stock MIT release, include 386BSD, Linux, and Mach386. Discussion of XFree86 is contributing to overcrowding in several newsgroups. In addition, more people are getting involved in developing code for XFree86. We propose that a new newsgroup be created to carry on discussions related to XFree86. Proposed Charter ---------------- The newsgroup comp.windows.x.xfree86 is intended for discussions about XFree86, the enhancement package for X11R5 on Intel-based Unix. Areas for discussion include: 1) Frequently Asked Questions - including archive location and retrieval, configuration, and email addresses for developer contacts. 2) Announcements of new and upcoming releases, including calls for beta-testers. 3) Discussions of new features to be developed, including support for new display devices, protocol extensions, etc. 4) General support from the developers. Discussion related to the formation of this group should be posted to news.groups. Information about XFree86 can be obtained by mailing to xfree86@physics.su.oz.au. -- David Wexelblat | dwex@mtgzfs3.att.com | Somebody get me a AT&T Bell Laboratories | ...!att!mtgzfs3!dwex | cheeseburger! 200 Laurel Ave - 4B-421 | | Middletown, NJ 07748 | (908) 957-5871 | --Steve Miller Band
