Sub-Category for Generic Qt Queries

[quote author="Denis Kormalev" date="1293458890"]QtK, historically Qt is desktop framework. And 99% of questions in desktop environment (excluding win-specific, linux-specific or mac-specific) will be about core functionality of Qt (which you want to move to Core category).[/quote]
Yes, you are right. But now things are changing "Qt is everywhere". The reason I was supporting to have a general or core category is that these questions may be common to mobile, embedded, windows, linux, maemo or any other category.

[quote author="Volker" date="1293460441"]I'd prefer to rename "Qt Desktop" into "Qt General" or "Qt General/Desktop" as this is the actual meaning of the forum. Any further split does not scale at the moment.[/quote]
I agree on this. It's best to keep categories clean and short.

Happy new year to all. Shouldn't i get an email if someone posts on this forum (i have subscribed for this thread - double checked) because i didn't get any.
What happens if it is a desktop specific question? Will that get mixed with Qt General? I am confused.

Yes, if you have subscribed you should be getting an update via email. Although I have observed that sometimes you don't.

Haha, I'm flattered. Queen of Forums. :D
To get back to the topic: I can see the point for a more general forum. Actually, I was thinking about that when I set up the initial structure. But as we noticed now, it's a bit tricky. For now it's probably the best solution to combine "General" and "Desktop".
"Core" might be misleading since there will be a huge overlap with Qt on embedded...
