There are a lot of good points from all sides on this issue. Though I like C# I am not as enthusiastic about it compared to other languages and I am sure there are many who feel the same. Stackoverflow has its place and Skunkworks has its place. You cant hold lengthy discussions on stackoverflow (it will be moved to the WIki and you will get down voted. etc etc). Stackoverflow is meant for simple or complex questions with a definite answer. Mailling lists do what stackover flow cannot do. IMHO I think what @Aki means by a new mailling list is not just about asking questions. A one off question is fine for Skunkworks but discussing a project from start to end with examples proof of concepts defences etc does not suite this mailling list. Thats coz this list is quite generalized. In fact if I am not wrong there is more OT stuff discussed here than non OT stuff. That why personally I am also on more targeted mailling lists where deeper coding issues can be discussed at length and thats the same reason I spend almost all my time online connected to IRC Steve ----- Original Message ----- | From: "aki" <aki275@gmail.com> | To: "Skunkworks Mailing List" <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> | Sent: Wednesday, December 7, 2011 11:50:09 AM | Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] C# and ASP.NET group/list ( | formal/informal? ) : Final call? | Hello @Okech, | I like the passion you have i.e you detest everything asp & c#.
