The language lists, designed for language discussions only, were in the works long before we started talking about splitting DOTNET. They would have existed with or w/out the split so we didn't consider them as part of the divide. Having language forums should help clear up basic language noise from the more focused developer communities we're trying to build (CLR, WEB, WINFORMS). > Also, any chance we'll get to see the DATA mailing list?

I'm biased myself having dedicated the last 3-4 years to XML. The problem is where do you draw the line...there are just too many edge cases. The split tries to encourage developer "communities" without too much fragmentation. -aaron You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
