OK, I have another proposal:<br><br>Let's move all non-support (announcements to developers primarily, or policy discussion, that sort of thing) off this mailing list and onto a Developers group on <a href="http://Groups.drupal.org">Groups.drupal.org</a>, where only announcement-type material is posted. That way those who want to use this as a support list can do so, and those who want to use StackExchange and other venues can do so, but everybody knows where non-support things of interest to developers are announced.<br>
<br>And perhaps we could change the name of this mailing list to devel-support.<br><br>-Randy<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 17, 2011 at 7:32 PM, nan wich <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nan_wich@bellsouth.net">nan_wich@bellsouth.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>It seems like we'd get better long-term use of people's time if we did development support over there, where it's searchable, and where repeat questions can be answered by an internet search instead of everybody reading and answering the same thing over and over.<br>
<br>And yes, I'm in favor of providing this capability on <a href="http://drupal.org/" target="_blank">Drupal.org</a>, as per
<a href="http://drupal.org/node/1047632" target="_blank">http://drupal.org/node/1047632</a>, but for now, what about taking dev support off this list since there's such a good alternative?<br><br>-Randy<br clear="all">
