Here's are two ideas: 1. Add a section to the PHP mailing list page with information on where to find official mailing lists for Apache, Javascript, and MySQL. Also add a link to the FAQ section created in idea #2.
2. Add a new FAQ section on what information to collect when troubleshooting PHP related problems and how this information can help you find solutions as quickly as possible - including details on how to discern whether a problem is caused in PHP or elsewhere. I know that these two ideas call for things that shouldn't have to be done. After all, using the correct list for your question should be common sense. Then again, it probably makes no sense that these types of questions come up so often. People are either being selfish and asking their questions regardless of list etiquette or people are using the list out of ignorance. I'm more than happy to help people who don't know any better. This is the goal of the ideas I've presented. The ideas won't do anything to stop those who don't care, but maybe the number of non-PHP questions will decrease overall. It seems worth a try. -Ed -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
