The recent thread has reminded me that I was going to ask something
long ago and forgot all about it: what is the intended purpose of
this list? I don't mean this to imply anything negative, facetious,
etc. I'm curious for two reasons. One is that I don't know whether
it is intended to be 'about' consulting or 'for' consulting. That
is, is it meant to be a jobs list, or about the business of Drupal
consulting? It's fine with me either way, but certainly people need
a place to bitch about their work and their clients that is probably
best not being the same place where potential clients are looking
for help, and it seems the list is bein used for both, which causes
me to wince quite often.<br>
<br>
The other is based on what I often see implied, that 'developer' and
'consultant' are interchangeable terms, where being even a top
developer doesn't mean the person has 1 ounce of consulting skills
necessarily, nor that they do any consulting, and, likewise, a
consultant doesn't necessarily need to write one line of code. At
the extreme end, they can be consulting higher up in the client food
chain on a strategic level, or at an architectural level, etc., and
so I wonder whether there is an intention for the list to be about
the business of consulting, or about the business (as opposed to the
craft) of developing/site building/theming. Again, it doesn't matter
to me whether it's all the above...just wanna hear what people
think.<br>
