This is the reason why we get the mails like "where to download the nightly builds" and "how to check the compatibility of plugins". At least we can tweet about the simple issues and within a short span of time we can get possible solutions. Note: I'm not saying that twitter is the solution and alternative for emails, it can be used as a way to connect and collaborate. For example, we can follow the fellows for their interesting shares, suggestions and updates.

No alternative of mailing lists but we are talking about sharing and collaborations. Ps: If you think i'm wasting your time by useless mails then please stop the discussions ! _______________________________________________ wp-testers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers
