Back when I started SVGBasics.com, I didn't expect Firefox to pick up SVG so quickly or the rush of people that started using it. I just thought it'd be an interesting technology to write about. Then I got sucked in with all the possibilities and Jeff went whole hog on developing client apps.
I've been working on a site for advocacy and explanations at getsvg.com. The site has been kind of in development for a couple months part time, but there's a fully functioning forum available. If you're interested, try it out at http://www.getsvg.com/forum --- In svg-developers@yahoogroups.com, Richard Gnyla <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I agree, for some reason I had to also resubscribe as well and pretty > much this Yahoo Forum pi**ess me off as I now have had to subscribe 3 > times in about 2 years or so. > > What I cant understand is why we dont have a proper forum rather then > this ancient yahoo group thing, I reckon it puts people off.
