- to the news.groups group, here, and the BONSAI mailing list on
- Friday. THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL POSTING. I want all of YOU,

- suggestions, criticisms, and corrections by THURSDAY so I can
- adjust this document as necessary.

- REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION
-
- RFD for creation of rec.arts.bonsai group for discussion of
- the art, and techniques of bonsai. Also mailed to rec.gardens,
- and the Bonsai mailing list for distribution to their
- readership.
-
- REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION
-
- Create an UNMODERATED Usenet newsgroup called "rec.arts.bonsai".
-
- This announcement is cross-posted to newsgroups and mailing
- lists whose readers may have an interest in the discussion
- about the new group;
- follow-up discussion will take place in "news.groups".
- Suggestions, comments or problems may also be emailed to me
- at bartlone@gemed.ge.com, OR cs688@freenet-in-a.cwru.edu.
-
- PURPOSE
-
- The newsgroup rec.arts.bonsai would be a forum for
- discussing all aspects of the hobby of training, growing,
- displaying, purchase and sales of bonsai.
-
-
- RATIONALE
-
- Currently, discussion of the art of bonsai is carried out in
- the BONSAI mailing list, AND in alt.bonsai. This group has, in
- the 6 months since its creation, been a forum for the discussion
- of the joys and woes, the art and techniques of growing and
- maintaining the beautiful dwarfed trees known as bonsai. Even
- though this group is carried by only 40% of the sites, it has
- maintained a reasonable flow of traffic, and has fostered
- discussions between people from Australia, to Japan, to the US
- and Canada, to numerous countries in Europe. We feel that to
- reach a larger possible audience would enhance this group, and
- the information that we share.
-
-
- CONTENT
-
- This newsgroup is open to all people interested in knowing
- more, or sharing information they have gathered about the
- art of growing and training bonsai.
-
-
- NEWSGROUP CREATION
-
- The discussion period will be from 29 January 1993 to 26
- February 1993.
-
- Please post all discussion in "news.groups".
-
- If a consensus is reached by the end of the discussion period,
- a CFV (Call for Votes) will be posted at that time.
-
- The voting period will last for 30 days.
-
- Thank you for your interest.
