- I'll have to go back and reread the requirements for making a newsgroup,
- but for the time being, I am posting this up so that I can get a rough idea
- of how many people would be willing to support a natural language newsgroup.
- I am hoping that everyone has returned back from the holidays.
-
- Here's an outline of a charter. Suggest improvements, and pretty soon
- we can make a formal call for discussion.

- Charter for Natural Language Newsgroup
-
- Name: comp.ai.natural-lang
- Moderated?: Unmoderated
- Purpose: To discuss issues related to natural language, especially
- but not solely the kind of issues that researchers in
- AI would consider important to natural language. This
- would include issues such as:
-
- * Natural Language Understanding
- * Natural Language Generation
- * Machine Translation
-
- Issues related to specific research being done in the
- field may also be considered.
-

- If anyone else has any additions, please contact me at clin@eng.umd.edu.
- Jaime Cisneros has expressed interest in helping out, but to make it
- easier, I'll use my e-mail address. If this bounces, you can try
- him at cisneros@eola.cs.ucf.edu. Send mail concerning whether you
- would vote for such a group or not. If neither, then you do not need
- to send mail. If you have suggestions, or would like to help, please
- send either of us or both, e-mail.
-
- Despite my interest in setting up this newsgroup, I should warn
- you that I consider myseld only a novice in the area. So, any questions
- concerning anything related to natural language issues should wait
- about half a year or so. If the vote is successful, we can set up
- some anonymous ftp site to hold FAQ information.
