Hi Michael:

Sorry, I maybe did not express myself well enough. I don't think that 
the devs need to be raised above all others within the community. I 
think that we all agree that the community is built on equality and that 
contributions from devs and members are equally as important.

My suggestion was that in all of our discussions, we seem to have missed 
speaking out for the developer team and that we should be a little more 
sensitive to that. I don't know if there is a dev advocate on this list 
who is watching out for dev interests in the website development. I know 
that they are pretty busy coding and bug quashing right now --- I am 
lurking the dev mailist as well.

I hadn't seen the placeholder on the Drupal site, so it is nice that 
this was put in for them.

No need to break out the dev page. We are the LO team.

Marc
