Not at all. Unfortunately this page got pushed live before the actual
service was ready, and also before the FAQs were posted, which answer this
question and other such questions we knew we were going to get.
Short answer is, the service isn't ready yet, and thus the announcement
page shouldn't have been posted yet. The service (meaning the web pages,
their content, their look) is still needing some work before it is ready.
But I'm very excited about it! It'll be a great way to grow the community
in a way that these mailing lists aren't ideal for... and it'll improve
these mailing lists by taking off some of the traffic that doesn't serve
them as well.
The Palm OS Developer Exchange will be a more structured way to ask or
browse questions, and will be more oriented towards directed and urgent
questions and not at all towards discussions. For people who really need
something fast and are willing to pay for it, or want to hire folks to do a
small job, the Exchange will be ideal.
