 * I am new to WordPress development. It seems that wp-hackers is not the list for
   discussing plugin related development. I take it this message board is the community’s
   gathering place?
 * I am correct that there is no mailing list?

 * Unless I’ve missed it (and I’m not a plugin dev so I may have) I think WP has
   a bit of a gap there… at least from the “community” angle.
 * The [codex page](http://codex.wordpress.org/Mailing_Lists#Hackers) says:
 * > The wp-hackers list is meant for people interested in extending WordPress either
   > through plugins or improvements to the core code. Serious discussion that determines
   > the future direction of the WordPress codebase takes place here.
 * Some would argue that the last sentence doesn’t mix well with the one preceding
   it. 😉
 * In my lurking on the wp-hackers list I know it can sometimes be a bit tricky 
   getting accepted over there (and posting that will probably get me flamed.).
 * But yeah, I’d honestly try the hackers list first. If nothing else, some alpha-
   type will point you to a good codex article or off-site resource. And there sure
   are some really bright folks reading and posting there regularly. Some of the
   folks who visit _here_ regularly are also plugin devs, so you can certainly ask
   stuff here and hope someone sees it.
 * Hmm.. I wandered all over the place in that response, didn’t I?

 * Thank you HandySolo,
 * wandering: no, you were very helpful. Also in my lurking I have seen people driven
   to the forums, so I think you are correct that it depends 😉
