The cocoa-pro list won't be archived at the moment. The number of messages
posted to it is too low and I am a bit against the idea to separate the pro
from the rest of us. :)

Furthermore, I am looking for contributors to write tutorials or articles.
If you have anything you would like to see published on this new site,
contact me.

Interesting. You will not support pro developers having a list where they can ask questions, but you want pro developers to answer questions on cocoa-dev and write tutorials and articles for mamasam.

I continue to answer questions on cocoa-dev, but I can't answer why I do. Questions on cocoa-dev often come from strongly defensive posters readily insulting Apple, cocoa-pro, NeXT and me personally. Answers often have confident, incorrect information that confuses people and must feel insulting to some based on how defensive people get; cocoa-dev is actually a sometimes (and way too often) hostile list to participate in.

As an experienced cocoa user, I find it difficult to participate in cocoa-dev and impossible to use cocoa-dev to ask questions. Reality is that cocoa-pro was started as a resource to people answering questions on cocoa-dev; cocoa-pro was never meant to discourage pros from answering questions on cocoa-dev.

However, if people treat cocoa-pro users as separatists it will further discourage me (and maybe others) from participating in cocoa-dev.
