This RFD has been posted in accordance with the Guidelines for Newsgroup Creation, with content based on previous RFDs. RATIONALE Currently a majority of the public discussion about the OpenDoc related technologies takes place on a mailing list on the CI Labs server. The traffic on just the CI Labs lists, as well as their membership have continued to balloon in size, leading to the need for a common forum. In addition, components and component technology are critical to the future development path of software. The 'mix and match' nature of parts has been of interest to developers and users both. The OpenDoc technologies, being flexible and non-proprietary have been the center of a great deal of discussion. Discussion has taken place on all of the comp lists which the RFD has been cross-posted to. Since the OpenDoc technologies are also cross- platform, it is beneficial to interested parties to have a single news group to search, instead of looking through many different platform specific newsgroups when interested in comments on the OpenDoc technologies from a cross-platform point of view. CHARTER The comp.softsys.opendoc newsgroup will be open to discussion of the OpenDoc technologies. Discussion might include: - Use of the OpenDoc technologies by developers - Specific OpenDoc related technologies such as Bento(tm), CORBA(tm), SOM(tm), OpenDoc, or OSA(tm) - OpenDoc in relation to development standards. (for example, OpenDoc and CORBA) - The implications of component software for the software market. - Benefits of the OpenDoc component software architecture for users - The role and activities of CI Labs (Component Integration Laboratories) - How to participate in the further development of the OpenDoc technologies. OPENDOC TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW The OpenDoc architecture is a vendor-neutral industry standard for software integration that enables distributed, cross-platform component software. It is a comprehensive and cohesive set of services that utilize proven technologies such as IBM Corporation's System Object Model (SOM), and Apple Computer, Inc.'s Open Scripting Architecture (OSA and Bento). The OpenDoc technologies also include extensive human interface support, sophisticated linking and storage management, and ComponentGlue, from WordPerfect the Novell Applications Group, which provides full OpenDoc/OLE interoperability. OpenDoc technology will provide benefits for the entire software industry, from end-users to information systems (IS) managers to independent software vendors. OpenDoc component software will allow users to seamlessly integrate text, graphics, tables, multimedia, scripts and other forms of content into a single working document. Instead of having to maneuver among applications, users will easily access any tool or editor work with different types of content into a compound document. OpenDoc component software will ease the computing experience, while ensuring a greater level of customizability and flexibility. IS managers want to use computers in more strategic ways: OpenDoc technology will enable development of custom applications, interoperability on multiple platforms and access to applications, information and services distributed on heterogeneous networks. With the wide and often complex range of platforms and applications, IS managers can use OpenDoc to simplify operations while protecting and leveraging existing investments in training, equipment and software. PRECEDENT There currently is no comp. heirarchy that addresses middleware. Other multi-platform, middlware have be placed in comp.soft-sys, however this heirarchy is viewed by the Usenet administration as lacking structure, thus the comp.soft-sys.middleware alternative, as a new structured area for future and current middleware newsgroups. Some current middleware newsgroups include: comp.soft-sys.dce, comp.soft-sys.powerbuilder, comp.soft-sys.nextstep. MAILING LISTS The mailing lists hosted on CILabs.ORG are growing in size and interest. The following are two announce groups, and a copy of the RFD will be forwarded to these, as the subscribers have an interest in an alternative to high traffic mailing lists, and scattered, platform specific news discussions relating to various OpenDoc technologies. OpenDoc-Announce@CILabs.ORG Bento-Announce@CILabs.ORG ODF-Interest@CILabs.ORG FUTURE CALL FOR VOTES After a discussion period of 21 days, if there are no overwhelming objections to the proposed group, there will be a Call For Votes (CFV) posted to the same groups as this RFD. The voting period will be at least 21 days. If the group passes by receiving 100 more YES votes than NO votes, and (at least) twice as many YES votes as NO votes, it will be created. The RFD for comp.soft-sys.opendoc is being cross-posted to the following relevant news groups: news.announce.newgroups, news.groups, comp.os.os2.advocacy, comp.os.ms-windows.advocacy, comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.misc, comp.sys.mac.advocacy, comp.sys.mac.oop.macapp3, comp.sys.mac.programmer.misc -- ..Jonathan Zamick Consensus Development Corporation.. .. 1563 Solano Ave, #355.. ..

DISTRIBUTION: This CFV will be sent to the following mailing lists: OpenDoc-Interest@cilabs.org Bento-Interest@cilabs.org HOW TO VOTE: You should send E-MAIL (posts to a newsgroup are invalid) to: usenet-votes@mathcs.emory.edu Please do not assume that just replying to this message will work. Check the address before you mail your vote. Your mail message should contain one and only one of the following vote statements: I vote YES on comp.soft-sys.middleware.opendoc I vote NO on comp.soft-sys.middleware.opendoc You may also vote ABSTAIN or CANCEL but these are not counted as valid votes for the total count. IMPORTANT VOTING PROCEDURE NOTES: Standard Guidelines for voting apply. One person, one vote. 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. Addresses and votes of all voters will be published in the final voting results post. 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. Please do not distribute this CFV. If you must, direct people to the official CFV as posted to news.announce.newgroups. Distributing pre-marked or otherwise edited copies of this CFV is generally considered to be vote fraud.
