Yes. We're currently in the "discussion" stage of the formal proposal to change the status of this group from moderated to unmoderated. You can look through the news.groups.announce archives for a copy of the official RFD (request for discussion). There doesn't actually seem to be terribly much discussion going on, though... I guess everyone either thinks that the moderation proposal I submitted is so good that there's no room for improvement, or else that moderation is such a bad idea that there's no point in trying to talk about the details. Anyway, this should go to a vote shortly. There are sometimes delays in Usenet votes, but if everything goes on schedule the vote should begin in a week or two. The vote will be announced here, on comp.lang.c++, on news.groups, and in a few other places; the ballot will contain full details about the moderation proposal. The vote will last for three weeks. So, if the proposal passes (this requires a 2/3 majority and a minimum 100-vote margin), comp.std.c++ will change to a moderated newsgroup some time in late July. -- Matt Austern matt@physics.berkeley.edu http://dogbert.lbl.gov/~matt
