[wp-pro] Discontinuing this mailing list

[Gavin Pearce]

Jane - the WP-Pro mailing list would welcome your views please.

 

The vast majority here would like it to stay, and no discussion has been
made within the community of your recent decision.

Hmm, I think the Easy Car Seat man had a point -- why not buildout the
WPCOOP thing to be a buddypress site with job boards obviously, and have
job postings auto-send to the google group email?? 

 

hell, with all the traffic from developers, The Deck Network would
probably dish out serious money for adspace.

 

Just sayin'.

 

p.s. Dan -- I hear a lot of Ruby on Rails programmers are knee deep in
HTML5...

Add me to the list of people who would be disappointed if this list
were to die a quick, yet untimely, death.

I don't consider myself a WP Pro, as I've mainly only generated themes
from existing layouts (something I'm expecting to change once the
demands of clients and a full time job ease up.)  But even lurking has
been a good thing.

With 22 years of software development, I've seen plenty of things
change.  It would be nice if the loss of this list wasn't an
additional one.
