Re: Software discusion group and the likes

[HUNG QUANG NGO <hngo@cs.umn.edu>]

 Hello all, I totally agree with Ai Viet in that sense. Software is too
general an issue to be the topic of a mailing list.

 I think we can still keep its name as "software systems", but for
each interval of time, we're gonna discuss about a specific area of
software systems. Just put the topic on the subject line, we'll know what
we're talking about. For example, here are some of the possible areas
that we all might be interested in :
 - Software engineering
 - Databases
 - Computer Graphics
 - GUI

 Of course, those names are still too general, we still have to go more
specifically like :

  - [Databases] - [Datamining for Webpages]

 That, I think will work, and will not limit ourselves by a limited title
like Vietnamese font.

 Cheers,

 Hu*ng Q. Ngo^
