I'm Sara Dornsife, Dir of Dev Mktg at Heroku. Sorry for not introducing myself earlier. Also sorry for not posting here about wanting to close this list before it hit the newsletter.
List traffic has been low and very often the questions/comments posted here are best resolved on support.heroku.com. At the same time, Stackoverflow usage has continued to grow and the community there is very active. For those reasons, we feel its best to consolidate to support and Stackoverflow.
