DU Groups Proposal: Computer Developers Group
Advertisements [?]
I've noticed that we have quite a few web page developers and programmers here, and a handful of computer artists of various stripes. Because it's always handy to have a forum where programming tips and troubles can be bounced off your peers, it seemed to me that this group could be useful.

I realize that this proposal would create two separate computer support groups, but I think the division is justifiable. Where the current Computer Help and Support group is targeted at assisting computer users, my proposed group would be targeted at assisting computer developers.

My suggested mission statement:
"The purpose of the Computer Developers Group is for members to seek and dispense advice regarding the programming and development of computer software, websites, and computer graphics and animation. This is a technical group aimed at offering community based assistance for members interested in the development or creation of software and content for all platforms, and in all common development languages and formats. Everyone is invited to ask questions, seek help, and provide advice and answers. End-user type questions, including difficulties installing or running software, are NOT on topic for this group and should be placed in the Computer Help and Support Group."

Please post your opinions of this group, and any amendments to the mission statement that you'd like to see. I'm a little unhappy with the group name because it's a bit vague, so any proposals there would be very appreciated.
