Mac Forum / General / General / July 2007Proposal - alt.cellular.iphone
Google Groups shows c.s.m.a and c.s.m.s have 5,350 and 2,030 posts containing "iPhone," a product that has been on sale for less than a month. These newsgroups are for discussion of Apple Macintosh computers, which the iPhone is not. There presently is no place on usenet for iPhone discussions but there seems to be enough demand for one. Here's a proposal for a new group. Let me know if there is enough support for this and/or give suggestions for the charter and I'll try posting it to alt.config. Or maybe somebody who has done this before might like to take it over; I've never created an alt group and it seems pretty complicated for a newbie. - alt.cellular.iphone is for discussion of all aspects of the Apple iPhone. Discussion topics could be related to the use of the iPhone and its software, relevant cellular networks, and connecting an iPhone to a Mac or Windows computer. Discussion of hacks, cracks, or the illegal exchange of copyrighted software is not permitted. Binary postings and spam are also not permitted. Please try to keep discussions on topic. Please be civilized and be respectful of your fellow netizens. Flame wars should be taken to private email. The newsgroup will not be moderated.  SignatureK.

Right. As if that won't happen on an unmoderated newsgroup! If you want order, you're going to have to have it moderated. > Binary postings and spam are also not > permitted.

This is a great idea. I hope you get it going. It will probably have the heaviest traffic of any cellphone newsgroup after a while. Especially when some great little apps pop up for it. It will inspire creativity. Yes! Most iphone posts need to come out of the c.s.m groups. Seems like what is needed is an alt.apple hierarchy for all the apple "appliances". alt.apple.itunes alt.apple.ipod alt.apple.iphone alt.apple.itv alt.apple.safari alt.apple.misc These would be OS agnostic groups focused on the particular product. I can think of almost no valid reasons for an iphone centric post into comp.sys.mac.system. Maybe something driver level. (The fact that is running a flavor of OS X is irrelevant as long as the OS is totally embedded and hence inaccessible. comp.sys.mac.app has a better chance as itunes questions would be OT and "is there a Mac app that can do X with an iphone also. alt.cellular.cingular/alt.cellular.attws seem a better place for service related questions. Follow-up set to comp.sys.mac.advocacy SignatureClem "If you push something hard enough, it will fall over." - Fudd's first law of opposition |
