Hello,
Got your arguments and agree.
One thing to note.
The discussions, the link, between developers and pure users are important.
For sure it does not makes any fun to answer bad prepared questions of
"goony" users.
If developers are stayin' with themselfs it might result in a nerdy
piece of software, hard to configure, ugly to use.
The input of the ordinary user is invaluable.
Cheers,
Mark

Sure. But users and developers are different target groups.
By helping developers we gain:
1. A more attractive platform
2. More contributors
3. More apps
4. ...
There are plenty of unanswered topics.
Because the questions there are often:
1. Unspecific
2. Without details
3. Often easily solvable by googling or just reading the documentation
4. Containing error messages in Chinese (I can't read Chinese and I don't want
to waste my time translating error messages which are likely user errors)
This is why I'm not really active in the forum. There are just way to many people there
that do not even understand the difference between a mail and a web server. Not beginning
to speak of people who try to install oC on their 1$ "unlimited" webhoster
package...
I consider our time better spent with helping potential contributors than
helping somebody to setup their LAMP installation.
Would be nice if you can spend some time at the forum before pleasing 3rd party
platforms.
Please visit https://forum.owncloud.org/ and help other users.
