This is OT for this list. This list is reserved for discussions of> Drupal core development. Please move your query to support@drupal.org> and see http://drupal.org/support and http://drupal.org/community for> more options. If we're truly not going to answer coding questions here, then can we PLEASE get a separate mailing list for module developers? The Support list is ABSOLUTELY NOT for these kinds of questions. That list says explicitly that it is for people who have trouble installing and configuring Drupal. To quote its mailman page: "If you need help getting Drupal up and running this is the list for you." Most of the community on that list wouldn't be able to answer general PHP questions, much less answer questions about the inner workings of the API, Drush, or Simpletest. We'd be better off posting questions to the "Themes" list. If this list truly is for core development only, then I will unsubscribe. But there's no way I'm going to join a mailing list just so my inbox can fill up with thousands of questions per day about setting up an FTP client or whatever. Until us module coders get our own mailing list, I'd advise you to avoid sending coding questions to the Support list, and send them to the "Module Development and Code Questions" section of the forums:http://drupal.org/forum/4 Thanks. -Karl.

That can be arranged, please open an infrastructure issue. Cheers, Gerhard -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk42omcACgkQfg6TFvELooSn1ACggxtEBqZ2aDLqu6soREdT5DCD bwkAnA9JkjL8U9yyPrmYyfQwYAPcMMXt =Mve3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Traffic on this list is close to zero. It doesn't look like developers working on core want to use this list for actual communication, rather for occasional one-stop announcements only. Personally, I wouldn't mind to see questions about how to use core APIs properly and related topics on this list... didn't really understand the recent repurpose to "core development only" topics. I think we're giving newcomers an extremely hard time to figure out where to post a development-related question. For most other FOSS projects, the development mailing list /is/ for development related questions that may not fit well elsewhere, or which may pertain to more than one API or module (in which case you've no effin' idea where the question belongs). A separate module development list feels over-engineering to me. It's not like we have 500 messages per day on this list. Karl is also right in that pointing people to the support list doesn't really make sense. We can still point people asking here to appropriate project queues, forums, stackexchange, or whatnot if necessary. E.g., in this case, the question should rather have been filed as a support request for Webform module. We could clarify that in the description of the development mailing list. - sun

Strong second to this! Let's make this list for Drupal programming questions in general. If there needs to be a line drawn saying what's appropriate and what should have been filed as a support request for a particular module or discussed on the Support list or another support channel, let's make a sub-page to Mailing Lists and clarify what is and isn't appropriate there. --Jennifer -- Jennifer Hodgdon * Poplar ProductivityWare www.poplarware.com Drupal web sites and custom Drupal modules
