Indeed. As more public clouds are appearing powered by OpenStack, developers of applications are becoming even more important than before. In fact, I think it's about time we start thinking about specific programs for developers consuming OpenStack. > This email is prompted by a minor incident in the #openstack IRC > channel.

My gut feeling is that expecting people on #openstack to behave all the time can be too much of a challenge. I heard often that the channel is not very useful and that's one of the reasons that lead to creating #openstack-101. Maybe we can increase the visibility of such channel, put it on top of the list https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/IRC? > If you ever encounter someone looking for help with another language, > you can always point them to the SDKs wiki page [1].

Maybe we can think about linking this page directly from the wiki main page https://wiki.openstack.org/. Another thing we could do to help consumers of API (is that a good term?) is to improve the "Catalog of OpenStack related projects" http://stackmeat.org/, maybe make it an official community project.
