Steven/all:

Regarding the purpose of this list...

The list of lists page just says:
http://drupal.org/mailing-lists
Development - A list for Drupal developers.

The list description says:
http://lists.drupal.org/mailman/listinfo/development
"The Development list exists for developers to be able to communicate with one another and discuss the technical issues around Drupal. Valid topics of discussions include code, patches, bug reports, and detailed suggestions for future code."

This appears to say that development questions are encouraged on this list. It doesn't say you have to be an advanced, core developer to participate or that you cannot ask questions.

And in general, we need to be welcoming in this community, and not tell new developers (who might eventually become core developers, contributed module maintainers, etc. with our support) to go away.

That's my 2 cents anyway...

@ktt, apologies. I was blunt and meant to be, but meant no offence.

@all - Can we rename the list to 'Development Support' and change the
description to more accurately describe what this list offers to its
members.
