COMMISSION 5: DOCUMENTATION AND ASTRONOMICAL DATA PRESIDENT: G. A. Wilkins Report of Meetings at Buenos Aires: July 1991 [Initial non-relevant items omitted.] 5. FITS standards. P. Grosbol, the chairman of the FITS Working Group, reported that a comprehensive document on the FITS standards (for data on images) is being prepared by the NASA Standards Office. The draft is under study, and the final version will be subject to approval by the IAU Working Group. [Items omitted] Joint Meeting of Commissions 5 & 6 [Items omitted] 3. Astronomical software. [...] P. Linde drew attention to the world-wide non-commercial electronic bulletin board known as USENET. It contains many specialist newsgroups, of which SCI.ASTRO and SCI.SPACE are of interest to professional astronomers even though much of the material is contributed by amateurs. It would be feasible to create a special newsgroup for astronomoical software, and D. Wells has recently created a new group, ALT.SCI.ASTRO.FITS to discuss issues related to the FITS standards.
