I just haven't seeen enough programming traffic to warrent a list. I think the threads we get on LUAU about programming are good for non-programmers to see and maybe learn something from. I subscribe to several lists, so it wouldn't be a problem to subscribe to another, but I am not a programmer, so I don't think I would subscribe to a programming list.
On the other hand, I do think it would be very useful to have a list for computer science/promranning for all the students out here and other programmers, but I think that list would spend way more time on VB and MS Access than anything related to opensource. I don't know about UH, but everything I learned at HPU was VERY MS centric. So I think most of our opensource related programming questions would come back to this list. So if you do start that programming list I need help trying to get a DOS batch file to do the job of perl or a unix shell script and it aint easy! :) Dusty >> I would prefer to see everything stay here. > Why?
