Forum & CommunityPros

• The developers answer most questions• Questions are answered quickly• Good ideas will get noticed by the people doing the coding• Accurate technical answers• IRC channel for communication

Forum & Community Cons

• Some broken links• Not a lot of information to point to• Nontechnical matters are ill answered• Questions involving what will be rolled out in a release are spotty at best – Languages

• If a coder is looking at the forum then they are not coding• Not a lot of integrated pieces or example code due to development team size
