Re: [libreoffice-users] I'm looking for a place where I can ask questions about programming Base applications, using LibreBasic and the API.

Indeed I would agree that this probably doesn't belong on dev channel -
there we discuss code not "how to's" or feature requests.

I actually would have just recommended the user list :) If that fails, the
OOo forum is good, also our Ask site have some great contributors that know
quite a bit.

If it's a feature that you want I would recommend reporting a "bug" and
marking it as an enhancement request:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport

Maybe just rephrasing the question and making a new thread where you say
"how do I...." might get some good responses from people who use Database
often.
