CALL FOR VOTES -- comp.sources.reviewed

[Andrew Patrick]

This is an official Call for Votes for the proposed newsgroup
"comp.sources.reviewed".  "Comp.sources.reviewed" will be a moderated
newsgroup (moderator: Andrew Patrick [andrew at calvin.doc.ca]) with the
following charter:

    "Comp.sources.reviewed" is a moderated newsgroup for the
    distribution of program sources that have been subjected to a Peer
    Review process.  Similar to the process used for academic
    journals, submissions are sent to a moderator who then sends the
    sources to Peer Review volunteers for evaluation.  The Reviewers are
    asked to provided a timely evaluation of the software by compiling
    and running it on their machine.  If time does not permit them to
    complete a review, they are responsible for asking the moderator to
    select another reviewer.  If the Moderator and Peer Reviewers judge
    a submission to be acceptable, the sources will be posted along with
    the written comments provided by the Reviewers.  If a submission is
    not found to be acceptable, the submitter will be provided with the
    Reviewers' comments, and they will have the option of addressing
    those comments and submitting the sources again.

    Volunteers interested in reviewing sources for this newsgroup can
    send a note to "reviewed at calvin.doc.ca" to be placed on the list.
