That's not an excuse, sorry. They're now responsible for an entire platform, these things should "fit on their plate", too. Though I admit that they simply can't do everything at once. > > > The reason why it should be managed by Google is that Google should > > centrally host the most important services (discussion group, wiki, > > etc.) that developers visit. > > I don't agree with that one bit.

What I saw "over there", though, was that there were several popular 3rd-party forums that were eventually beaten by Forum Nokia's blogs, discussion boards, wiki, etc. Regardless of the fact that they didn't like it, it was beneficial for developers in general, because what was not available on FN that simply was rarely available anywhere else. Thus, eventually developers have to visit a single site to get answers for their questions. Is it good or bad - who decides? Will it work differently in case of Android? No-one knows. I have always been able to find an answer to my questions related to Android development so far, though I had to jump from forum to forum, blog post to blog post quite often - fortunately Google search has worked quite well so far. But it'd be more efficient if everything was in a single place. Ps.: could you give us a link to the wiki you mentioned? > > -- > Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com > _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 2.0 Published! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
