I think this is due to an unfortunate (but common) confusion of "developers" and "users". In the mailing list sense, "developers" means developers *of Django itself*, not "developers who use Django"; "users" means "anyone who uses Django", which (obviously) includes developers in the general sense of the term. I feel the separation of mailing lists is a must, even if their names are not necessarily ideal; considering the high volume of posts to -users, it would be far too easy for posts about developing Django itself to get lost there. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
