Yes that's what I was suggesting. My view is that different kind of conversations would happen in a "help" vs. "announcements" category. Some people may be interested in being up to date with the more experienced users, announcements of new projects or putting together efforts towards a lib or even meetups or other IRL stuff; but don't want to spent time reading trough a more "stack overflowy" kind of posts. But I don't really have a strong view on this, I just wanted to clarify it as, for example, Rust forums do this differentiation and I figured it was worth raising it now :P Cheers
