[luau] Programming List

[Dustin Cross]

I just haven't seeen enough programming traffic to warrent a list.  I think
the threads we get on LUAU about programming are good for non-programmers
to see and maybe learn something from.  I subscribe to several lists, so it
wouldn't be a problem to subscribe to another, but I am not a programmer,
so I don't think I would subscribe to a programming list.


On the other hand, I do think it would be very useful to have a list for
computer science/promranning for all the students out here and other
programmers, but I think that list would spend way more time on VB and MS
Access than anything related to opensource.  I don't know about UH, but
everything I learned at HPU was VERY MS centric.  So I think most of our
opensource related programming questions would come back to this list.

So if you do start that programming list I need help trying to get a DOS
batch file to do the job of perl or a unix shell script and it aint easy! :)
