- This is just a short note to welcome you to the new MacApp3 newsgroup.
-
- This newsgroup should only be used for MacApp (version 3.0) discussions.
- It will be gatewayed to a similar (very active) mailing list on AppleLink
- which has a similarly narrow focus. If you wish to discuss other object-
- oriented programming paridigms for the Macintosh then the right place to
- do this is in the comp.sys.mac.oop.misc newsgroup. If traffic warrants
- then other subgroups can be created. But that's up to you readers.
-
- Thanks to John Werner (at Berkeley) for organizing this.
-
- I have the gateway software compiled, tested, and ready to run. There is
- already an active discussion on AppleLink with over 300 developers (both
- inside and outside of Apple).
-
- Unfortunately, the Call-For-Votes ended at the same time as a new person
- took over our (apple's) main news feed. This is good news, but it does
- mean that turning on the MacApp3 newsfeed is delayed. Anyway, I've given
- them a list of commands to install so it should happen any day now.
-
- The plan is to first gateway all traffic from the AppleLink mailing list
- Macapp3tech$ to Usenet. There is a potential problem with MessageIDs that
- come out of AppleLink which I had to program around. I would like to
- watch this for a couple of days (with real traffic) before I turn on the
- gateway in the other direction (Usenet to AppleLink).
-
- If I screw up then there is a chance that some messages from Usenet will go
- to AppleLink and then get dumped back into the newsgroup (duplicate messages).
-
- You should be seeing lots of bits any day now....I'm sorry for the delay.
-
- Happy MacApping....
