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??<div><br></div><div>hell, with all the traffic from developers, The Deck Network would probably dish out serious money for adspace.</div>

Add me to the list of people who would be disappointed if this list<br>
were to die a quick, yet untimely, death.<br>
<br>
I don't consider myself a WP Pro, as I've mainly only generated themes<br>
from existing layouts (something I'm expecting to change once the<br>
demands of clients and a full time job ease up.) But even lurking has<br>
been a good thing.<br>
<br>
With 22 years of software development, I've seen plenty of things<br>
change. It would be nice if the loss of this list wasn't an<br>
additional one.<br>
