Hi, just to add my 2 cents While I love mailing lists, recently I've found StackOverflow to be really nice, so if there's going to be some web based place for vala, I'd like it better to be there since it's becoming the canonical place to find programming questions/answers in almost every language. And maybe having vala/genie questions there would make people be aware of it's existence and take interest in it :) Cheers -- Carlos _______________________________________________ Vala-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
