PROPOSAL: alt.binaries.scene.commodore64

alt.binaries.scene.commodore64	A repository for scene releases for the 
Commodore 64 line of microcomputers.

CHARTER: alt.binaries.scene.commodore64 serves as a repository for modern 
releases (graphics, software, music, other platform tools) for the 
Commodore 64 line of microcomputers.

The newsgroup is not moderated. Off-topic, spam, advertising, and non-
binary posts are not permitted. 

JUSTIFICATION: The only available binaries group for the Commodore 64 line 
of microcomputers is (as of this writing) alt.binaries.warez.commodore64. 
Given that there are exceedingly few commercial releases for this platform 
at present, most scene releases are now considered "off topic" for that 
group. Most contemorary releases for this platform are from hobbyists and 
other non-commercial entities who release without license or with licenses 
that allow free distribution of the software; hence, "warez" is an 
inappropriate descriptor for this software. However, 
alt.binaries.scene.commodore64 will serve as a catch-all for contemorary 
releases (non-commercial or otherwise).

AUDIENCE: Currently, there are 2 - 30 scene releases per day for the 
Commodore 64. A repository of these releases on Usenet as a decentralized 
mode of distribution will serve to provide these releases to those who 
wish to avoid the drama-fueled "scene" or who want to download these files 
in bulk.

NOTE: This post is for documentation purposes only. Should there be any 
further discussion surrounding this group or this request, please keep it 
to questions regarding this request and not questions regarding the 
validity of the "scene," the validity of this line of computers, or a 
discussion of "warez," as they are not relevent to this request. I am 
interested in creating this group so I can automate uploads from several 
websites, IRC, and Telnet BBSes and am not looking to engage in any 
conversation beyond this. 

Thanks!
