Hi, all.
In my view it's important to keep the developers and users on one list for the following reasons:
a) there are probably grey areas between 'use' and 'development'; b) users would probably need the expertise that developers have and there is a likelihood that developers would migrate away from the users' list and leave users under-resourced.
I know from the CSound list that there is a healthy mix of expertise which means that a rich response comes very quickly to even simple requests. And the debate can get quite lively too. As a CSound user I find the discussions about CSound internals quite interesting, even though much of it is a bit opaque to me as a non-programmer.

| Hello, | I'd like to know if user's questions are welcome in this mailinglist. | You all discuss about bugs or implementation of new features, that's quite | interesting, and I hope i will submit some externals or some bug-fix soon, | but do you plan to create a new mailinglist dedicated to users, keeping this | one for "developers" ? | I'm happy with the existing list, but this could avoid message like "hum, | excuse me disturbing you, gentlemen, but I got no sound with pd, sorry... | please help me, i can't sleep for a week!!" and perhaps help people who do | not dare to put some simple questions :-). | Some of you will tell me that it's not worth it, or that it's not very | necessary, but this could help to differentiate usage from developement, and | promote more discussions about the different uses of Pd. | | Thank you. | Nicolas Lhommet | | |
