[android-developers] Re: Devs: Give your thumbs up on these missing Market features
The Market Forum doesn't encourage discussion of ideas in any meaningful way and is pretty poorly run, you only need to look the following recent thread for an example of a regular problem; http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=11f055fff4d8 840ahl=en The Google Employees marked the question as answered when the Google Employees post is all questions and no answers. Personally I only register problems in the Market forum so that I've followed the recommended procedure. As for idea discussion, it's android-discuss all the way.

Actually, that approach seems to be completely ineffective, considering that I posted this message there yesterday and received no responses at all, whereas my post on the Discuss forum quickly received several responses, and the post on code.google.com quickly received a few votes. I doubt that all developers are reading all the forums with the even distribution you are implying. I take your point that the purpose of dividing the forums up is to keep them on-topic, but that only works if everyone reads everything...which I doubt. Lots of people probably don't do that; they just read a few of the main forums, in which case topic-division actually prevents people from seeing all subject lines. Both approaches have advantages and disadvantages. Sorry to have cluttered the list. Cheers!
