I completely agree with your idea, also the group homepage should have a few ground rules perhaps, we have something similar on the Capistrano group. http://groups.google.co.uk/group/capistrano/
Its a real shame Google groups doesn't have better "first time poster" rules, for such things. Aalso for public record; Hanuma emailed me personally accusing me of racism, I apologise if I offended anyone else on the list, but I feel my observations were valid, we have similar problems on the Capistrano mailing list with frequent requests for basic information, or basic problems - but in our case (as most will agree) - we do indeed have a documentation problem. -- Lee Hambley Twitter: @leehambley | @capistranorb Blog: http://lee.hambley.name/ Working with Rails: http://is.gd/1s5W1 2009/10/28 Vishu Ramanathan <[email protected]> > Lee's frustration is not groundless.
