This brings up a point that was chatted about on #blender. It would seem that not every blender user knows that #blender exists, how to use it, or the format of communication there. It was said that it would be really good if the blender.org web site and really all other blender web sites had a major area to tell people that this is a good place to come for instant help and that you must wait for at least an hour to get your answer before giving up. And that #blender is a great place for newbies to get great instant help. A happy user base brings in more people and this leads to more beta testers and more devs. -- Douglas E Knapp Why do we live? _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
