Proponent: Joel Clark <joel@ssd.intel.com>
Votetaker: Dave Cornejo <dave@dogwood.com>
RATIONALE: sci.agriculture.fruit
There currently exists a newsgroup on this subject,
"alt.agriculture.fruit". But since it is in the "alt" branch it is
frequently subjected to voluminous inappropriate postings (HOT SEX,
MAKE MONEY FAST, PHONE CARDS!) Postings related to fruit growing are
generally informative, articulate and high value content (very little
to no flaming). But as much as 50% of postings are totally
off-topic. It is hoped that by moving the group to the "sci" branch
the number of off-topic postings would be greatly reduced. The
proponent of this move <joel@ssd.intel.com> promises to make regular
announcements in alt.agriculture.fruit for at least 6 months
suggesting on-topic posts be moved to the new group
sci.agriculture.fruit if it is created. It is hoped that a FAQ will be
developed.
CHARTER: sci.agriculture.fruit
The proposed unmoderated newsgroup sci.agriculture.fruit will be
open to discussions on all topics related to growing fruit, berries
and nuts commercially or in home garderns, such as:

including cultivation, pollination, pruning, fertilizing,
spraying etc.

fruit, berry, and nut growing.
- rules and regulations related to agriculture practices.
- requests for advice related to fruit, berry, and nut growing.
- requests for sources of fruit, berry, and nut varieties, or
