Yes and no. Our mailing list is now having a *huge* traffic, mainly
developer-oriented (patches and related discussions). For the user just
starting up with Buildroot, not very familiar of open-source
communities, not feeling necessarily at ease with subscribing to a
50-100 e-mails/day mailing list, searching other forms of support seems
natural to me.
Maybe it's a sign that we should have a more "user-oriented" support
channel. A dedicated mailing list? An publicized usage of Stack
Overflow or some other similar stuff? Not sure exactly about this, but
might be worth a chat at the next Buildroot meeting, I believe.
Best regards,
Thomas
