There's a need to push towards starting a local community of developers. 2. We have currently some ppl interested in this who can form a community. 3. Those developers, either beginners, advanced or interested, can't find enough mediums to communicate among each other.(This group received such questions before, but it was irrelevant as this group focuses mainly on support). ** Reasons that *NEGATE* this idea: 1. This way we are splitting the community force, rather than keeping it focused in the same pole to get more interactions and thus community grows. 2. Having development-interested persons in the same group with support requests should result into better chances that support requests will be fully answered on time. ** Expected problems: 1. (Not sure of this) I'm always afraid when it risks splitting community. 2. To have a support question on this group that receives no or delayed answer because ppl who can actually figure it out might be attracted more to the -dev group. 3. (Nearly) Duplicating the effort of management. 4. At the beginning, we will be having not enough capacity to answer questions on time as community grows.
