[C.S.Y2K] 'CHARTER: comp.software.year-2000' The newsgroup comp.software.year-2000 is and remains one of my most important sources of information about Y2k. A number of highly regarded persons post on a regular basis on this newsgroup. Also, 'new trends' and ideas on Y2k can often be found here; these ideas are often 'copied' by others (I don't mind that they do so). When you do not have a news reader, you can still access newsgroup articles by using dejanews.com. When you execute a searchaction often, it as a good idea to save the URL(=link) of such a search; this can then be used repeatedly afterwards, I have done so; see : Subject 20812 Go to: [INDEX-SEARCHES] Message 4391075 and click e.g. on the 'Cowles' link: x10.dejanews.com Here you see the 'Charter' of this interesting newsgroup: 'I realize a lot of regulars will skip over this post, but many of us need to be reminded of the final sentence of the charter: ******************************************************************** TOPICS OF A POLITICAL, PHILOSOPHICAL, OR RELIGIOUS NATURE SHALL NOT BE POSTED IN COMP.SOFTWARE.YEAR-2000. ******************************************************************** (silly me, tilting at windmills again B^> ) CHARTER: comp.software.year-2000 This newsgroup will be open to all aspects of the year 2000 century conversion, including: * Project-management issues - suggested phases in year 2000 projects; how to get projects budgeted; experiences with "offshore consultants"; cost estimating; test strategies; contingency plans; checklists; expected staffing demands. * Technical discussions - year 2000 problems and solutions on various computer systems and networks.
