Thanks Tiho,
This is what I was looking for -- and it makes sense.
I guess it frustrates me to know that questions are being posted to
the drools-* mailing lists. I subscribe to both but definitely don't
read much of either -- part of the reason I subscribe is just to keep
a lookout for jbpm questions. Having to search through those lists for
questions (and knowing that answers will be archived on the drools-*
mailing list) is irritating.. :)
Is there a standard answer that we give to drools-* mailing list
questions, wrt to where they /should/ post questions?
IMO this is actually a good
thing as we can leverage on a very strong
Drools community that we are all part of. We should not try to isolate
jBPM in any way from it...it's all one big happy family anyways :)
I totally agree that we don't have the resources/people power to
answer all sorts of channels -- it's impressive enough as it is that
we are able to answer lots of questions (from my perspective!).
Thanks,
Marco
