Sounds good to me (personally, that is).

That would seem premature. Perhaps if DEC fixes the performance, and more people
start using POSIX, that will become more appropriate, but I expect it would
start as a low traffic group. We can split it later if need arises.

I agree. Opinion seems to be quite positive so far, but not a lot of people have
posted. I'm personally inclined to create the group, because I think it is a
good idea. I mentioned the posibility long before POSIX was released, in fact.
So let's put it this way, I'll create it unless some posts start appearing to
oppose the idea.
