Why should we differentiate between people "in" the KDE community and people "outside" the KDE community? Do they have different questions (categorically) from the developers who work on applications hosted on git.kde.org? Should the people who offer answers to "outsiders" be different to the people who answer "insiders"? Is there a purpose to distancing "outsiders" from the "internal" KDE community of developers? I'm seriously trying to understand where you see this division between "outside application developer" and "application developer hosted on git.kde.org" and can't see a material difference that matters. > Simple frameworks > support list for random people who are not involved with KDE in any way and > don't care about development (of any kind) inside of the community, but are > just looking for support and possibly willing to offer support too, Yes, that's what kde-devel is supposed to be for. If we take away the review board email, much of the traffic is exactly that. Currently it also gets used for a few other things, all of which belong elsewhere. I just scanned through the last ~2 months of threads on the list and apparently many of the people know that because the CC another, usually more relevant, mailing list. -- Aaron J. Seigo
