Some words on top: Many thanks to Markus Engmann, the first moderator
and Ulrich Schroeter, one of the most important founders of this echo.
I will let their rules untouched. They fit our needs I presume.



Topics:

- Discussion and development of future-oriented mechanisms to advance
  means of access for new FidoNet participants, and of ideas on further
  development of FTN technology and FidoNet in general.

- Discussion and problem solving in critical FidoNet areas, for example
  how to keep FidoNet attractive. What can we do as individuals or as a
  group, what ideas exist and what can be implemented?

This echo is designed to provide a "workplace" for new developments in
global FTN technology (as in the case of special echos for policy
development), and to help us generate new ideas to keep Fido attractive
in the future. Anyone who has a good idea about a subject dealing with
what should be done to develop FidoNet can discuss it here at leisure.

The echo is not only open to *Cs, but is particularly intended for
developers and other interested participants, who can make useful
contributions to the discussions on the basis of years of FidoNet
experience.

The currently valid policy and echo policy apply.

The participants are requested to address one another in a friendly tone.

Encoded files are not permitted in the echo.

Any criticism of the moderation or moderation in general should be taken
to moderated.ger (in R24). However, this does not mean that discussion of the
basic subject of whether moderation is necessary in Fido, and how we can
realize new related ideas, is undesirable; to this extent, such
discussion is on topic.

Many thanks to Robert Bashe for his translation.
