Hi!

This is in continuation to discussions that I have been involved
separately. And something that I had bought up a few years back too.

I was wondering about how many people would consider the idea of a list
like [EMAIL PROTECTED], talking only about programming
issues and topics.

There are several points about this suggestion:

1. Audience - My informal interactions with people has generally given
me the impression that there are a number of people interested in such a
forum. Some of us feel that a forum where programming topics are
discussed is better off alone when it doesnt have to fight posts like
"my sound card isnt working! Help!"

2. Present forums - While there are existing forums like
[EMAIL PROTECTED], they can never beat a localised
forum like a local programmers guild. While the LI forum does have a
larger audience, I for one would prefer to be part of a forum where I
can not only exchange ideas with the guys over mail, but can actually
get to meet all of them once in a while like ILUGD does (no, Raj, I am
still not talking of a PUG ... yet ;) ), exchange books and other stuff.

3. Another mailing list? - We have already tried LAP, which has been put
off life support recently. There is no harm in another list if it can
ultimately help in the "cause" (world domination) ;)

4. Who is going to admin it?? - Kishore/Raj/Nishikant/___ are over
burdended already! If these people would find managing this new list
difficult, I volunteer to manage it.

What say you? ;)
