i'm not so sure ... i see LTP targeting more the low level libc/kernel interface. the plumbers sit on top of that and LTP doesnt really target the plumbing layer ... i'm not saying LTP cant do both ;), just that the LS seems more of an appropriate forum in terms of content. the higher price tag does discourage a lot of people from not showing up where as that barrier doesnt exist with the plumbers conf ... -mike
