This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] We're not sure what will become of this list over time, but it's not going anywhere. Our hope is that the list is used mostly for discussion and answering questions, where the website holds all of the useful information.
A simplistic view of the workflow would be: 1. Person ask a question of the HLCoders list. 2. Someone from the list writes/refers to a page on the developer site to address the question. 3. People from the list take a look at where the referral is pointing them to and correct if needed. There is also a discussion tab for each of the topics, which can be used for communicating in-context about a page.
