RE: [Gamedevlists-brew] Gauging the vibe...

[Aaron I. <ais...@ap...>]

RE private lists:  There are some technical things that I've discovered over
the past 2 years developing for BREW that I'd be happy to share with people
that I knew would return the favor and share what they know.  This detailed
knowledge is what makes us valuable developers.  Sharing that knowledge with
our peers make us even better.  However, giving away that advice for free to
people who will only use it to compete with us and not expand what we are
capable of, might not make sense.

The biggest downside to having a secret list is that some very
knowledgeable, but not well connected, people could be left out.

RE J2ME: I would not mind if this list also focused on J2ME, unless the
traffic and volume got too high.  I have started porting our apps to J2ME,
and I already have several questions that I couldn't find answers to.  If
not this list, then I would love to be part of a similar list focused on
J2ME.
