No. Mailing lists are mailing lists, not forums or Q&A sites. These things already exist, if you want django SO, its here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/django Thinking 'but we can make our own Q&A site' is foolish. See Jeff Attwood's post on the same subject: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2009/07/code-its-trivial.html OP: Noble aims. How do you aim to achieve 'highly curated' articles and snippets? One of the principle problems with djangosnippets is that the snippets often tend to work only at the version of django the user developed them at. Do you intend to revalidate every article and snippet on every django release? How will you do that, will each snippet/article be required to have testcases? Who will write the testcases? Will you validate against latest current release, or a variety of releases? Cheers Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
