What did you have in mind? Generally new groups are proposed after there
has been significant traffic on a given subject in austin.general.

If the traffic possibly warrants its own group, a request for discussion
(RFD) should be posted here. After a period of discussion, a call for
votes (CFV) is posted. If there is enough support, the new group will be
created.

Cheers,

Dusty

Thanks so much Dusty!  I was thinking since we have an austin.jobs we could
have the reverse of that austin.resume .  I really would have no idea how
many people would use the group but it seems some people wouldn't spend the
time to traverse the massive headhunter postings in austin.jobs but if
someone looking for the right person ran across my resume in austin.resume
and wanted to give me a call, I wouldn't mind!

So can we RFD this or do we need a second or third motion?

Again thanks for your reply...

P.S. I don't post a lot, should I remove my email addy from my messages when
I do post?  I see people putting all kinds of stuff in their post to stop
EMAIL ADDRESS miners I would assume, but is it really that serious of a
problem?

Actually, I'd support a group just for posting resumes, but I think it
would likely be overrun by spammers, just like austin.jobs. I'd happily
use the existing group - we're doing a lot of hiring these days - if it
wasn't chock full o' spamming head hunters.

That depends. A simple spam trap can be effective in cutting down on
spam, but certainly won't eliminate it.

Dusty,

Cool, I have one supporter!  So what do I do next?  Create a new thread
called RFD: austin.resume ???

Also, is it possible to moderate the group somehow? To stop the spam??

Thanks again,
