Contributors have stopped using this list because it was misused for support requests and other off subject issues like job postings. Real work couldnt be done effectively on it. As a result most core contributors just hang out in IRC, and the issue queue and skype each other directly. Maybe these are better tools more suited to the job or maybe they are just easier because you dont have to deal with the unwashed masses. While i *totally understand* the reasons the conversation has moved I think it comes at a price as well because it raises the barrier to entry for the newcomer and decreases the transparency of our communities decisions and the direction of the platform at large. Up into the silos drupal goes. I try to help here anytime someone asks a on-topic question and redirect them to a useful resources when they dont. -- Michael Favia [email protected] tel. 512.669.5650 http://www.favish.com
