Yes, I know. That's why I'd up this question. I'm not sure whether we should continue this talk in English (may be in Russian in some other places would be better). > > I noticed that traffic from discussion mail-lists is too high; > > I did not recieve answers on my questions and do not interest > > in the most of the messages. > > More focused answers can be obtained from paid technical support, > you know, community isn't when you ask your questions, get your > personalized answers in a minute and are not willing to help back. When I ask some questions in forums for programmers (forum.vingrad.ru for example) I recieve answers in one or two hours (and at least in a day for very specific questions). That's because: (1) my questions occur in proper places; (2) there are many people there. As to pay. I think that some of my question would be more helpful for developers (as a feedback) then for me or for our group. It's not difficult at all to organize forum. There are many linux forums so it's enoght to coordinate efforts. Andrey
