- The proposed group is unmoderated, text-only, and intended to leave postings in a permanent public archive.
Field notes
The charter separates discussion of Dvorak’s writing, broadcasts, career, and influence from excluded material such as binary posts, spam, and the unrelated Dvorak keyboard layout. It recommends plain text and short signatures, noting that postings may be distributed across servers and archived permanently. The page says the proposal is in alt.config discussion; group creation remains conditional on that process.
