Stoyan, While I thank you for informing me of two OTHER choices, I prefer to continue to inform people ABOUT the charter so they will read it. It isn't too much to ask that people use the right forum for the right discussion.
This IS a DEVELOPER forum: "You're now an experienced Android application developer. You've grasped the basics of Android app development, you're comfortable using the SDK, now you want to move to advanced topics. Get help here with troubleshooting applications, advice on implementation, and strategies for improving your application's performance and user experience. This is the not the right place to discuss user issues (use android-discuss for that) or beginner questions with the Android SDK (use android-beginners for that)." There IS an appropriate forum for "water-cooler" talk. It is not here. It is at [email protected] http://developer.android.com/community Stoyan Damov wrote: > Justin, calm down, it's your 5th or so message "aaargh, this is a > DEVELPER forum" - it's starting to piss me off, at least fix the typo > :P > > If you think that more than 5% of all posters on this list have read > the group charter you're fooling yourself. > > I've said it once - this is the only developer-oriented list (not to > be confused with "development-oriented" or > "SDK-questions-only-oriented" list, no matter what Google are > thinking), so there *will* be such questions.
