Don't worry, I always check my smoke detectors before posting :)
My intent was to have .software handle discussion and questions pertaining to
the use and development of any kind of software for linux. As opposed to
.coders which I think of more as a "How do I write a xxx", or "xxx crashes
and burns with yyy" group.
With that, I'd place discussions of sls et. al. into .software, and bug-reports
or how-does-it-work articles aimed at .coding.
Mainly, I would just like to see questions about coding and questions about
setup/configurations seperated.
Hope that makes SOME kind of sense :)
Later,
-Chris.
