Development Discussion Board

It's just sad that it took someone stealing 100 of 1000's of user e-mails for the epiphany.
The real epiphany here is people should have to look both ways before crossing the road. I can't imagine any scenario where crossing the road safely isn't a cooperative effort between driver and pedestrian ...

Outside of simply being courteous (and I agree that 3.2 deserves a different sort of reply than the antagonistic environment surrounding 3.0 produced), I'm personally not sure there are good ways to deal with this. Roadmaps are interesting from a development point of view but prone to being ...

personally, i have absolutely no intention of opening a "competing" bbs somewhere to discuss this open development, and have no intention to log on to someone else's "competing" forum. i expect this is true for most developers.
It is true for most content developers. Those that become discontent ...

This will be interesting to watch. I don't have the open development "ax to grind" that code reader has pretty consistently advocated, so I'm admittedly going to have to be sold on the change just as an observer.
