I would recommend StackExchange.<div><br></div><div>For WordPress-specific issues, <a href="http://wordpress.stackexchange.com">http://wordpress.stackexchange.com</a> is a great resource. For general web development, there's <a href="http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/">http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/</a>. And for general PHP/SQL/etc. there's <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/">http://stackoverflow.com/</a>.</div>
<div><br></div><div>And I agree: the mail-list isn't always the best medium for discussion/exchange of the kinds of topics you reference. That's why I've mostly stayed out of the responsive-design discussions. :)</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hey all -<br><br>There have been some interesting issues discussed in the latest Theme Unit Test Data topic.<br><br>Just for example, some of the stuff on responsive design - shrinking and hiding vs. stacking vs. grid frameworks. I think there are many of us who could contribute both tips and design ideas to how to apply all this to WP themes.<br>
<br>This is just one example of all the knowledge that could be shared - but I don't think this newsgroup format is optimal. Maybe I've just not found the right place, but I think it would really great if there were a BB/Forum available devoted to WP add-on developers. I'd be most interested in themes, but there are a lot of shared issues with plugins.<br>
<br>This group rightly concentrates on the theme approval process, but I'd really like a similar place to share and learn about important programming conventions and even "tricks" for using all the features of WP efficiently, correctly, and even as "cool" features in our themes.<br>
<br>I've looked pretty hard, and I can't find any currently active forum devoted to developing themes/plugins for WP.<br><br>I think it would be great if WordPress.org could host such a forum. I suppose it could be a resource issue - specifically the need for admins and moderators - not a small issue. But I think it would be a great resource and result in better themes for all, and I'd volunteer to be a moderator if that might help get it going.<br>
<br>But barring that, then perhaps there could be more traffic here devoted to some issues. I'd really like a bit more follow up on just how others are doing responsive design. I have my own ideas, and I think they are a bit different than Emil's. And I don't think there is one best practice on this issue. A devoted forum would be ideal, but perhaps this is the right place?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
