Reading Gleick's book title "Chaos: The making of a new science" inspires me to
 see if anybody out there, besides myself, would be interested in getting a new
 newsgroup going on the subject of Chaos/fractals/nonlinear dynamics.  It
 strikes me as such an interdisciplinary subject that any discussion would be
 more appropriate in a separate news group rather than sci.math or sci.physics.
 For want of a better name, it could go under sci.chaos, although this is
 admittedly ambiguous.
As I understand the standard procedures, I need to collect votes on the 
 subject.  email votes to me at hough@lamont.ldgo.columbia.edu by June 11.

How about using the existing group on dynamical systems and chaos:
  comp.theory.dynamic-sys ?

I am also a student of the subject.  This idea was brought up a few
months ago, and I was making noise about it.  The response I generally
got was: use existing groups.
