Not sure I would use the argument "make users less aware of phonegap" as a reason for this ;) but I agree that its a bit confusing for existing users of cordova core to be directed to phonegap support (see timely reply to the original thread from another user).
I much prefer directing user questions to stack overflow, though, where there is much better support for handling duplicate questions, prioritizing useful answers, and you generally get much more community contributions for answering questions, so I'd really prefer we advertise that avenue for support on our website first and foremost. For user questions that do need to go to a mailing list (is there ever a case?), I guess I don't mind which list it goes to (dev@ or users@). I just mind the inevitably frequent repetitive low quality questions by users who just didn't do their research. Stack overflow solves that problem much better. My 2cents. -Michal On Fri, Apr 11, 2014 at 10:23 AM, Bryan Higgins <[email protected]>wrote: > +1 > > > On Fri, Apr 11, 2014 at 9:56 AM, Lisa Seacat DeLuca <[email protected] > >wrote: > > > After attending ApacheCon it was clear that most projects have a user > > group mailing list to handle questions like this rather than forwarding > > people to a product specific distribution.
