Precisely. The "kde-devel is the mailing list where technical/software
development in the KDE
community happens" is how I feel and why I think there should be a support
mailing list for people *outside* the KDE community. Simple frameworks
support list for random people who are not involved with KDE in any way and
don't care about development (of any kind) inside of the community, but are
just looking for support and possibly willing to offer support too,
something like frameworks-support at kde.org. If anything, it at least servers
marketing purposes ;)

Btw. looking at kde-devel archives for the month July, I counted 4
non-inside-KDE related emails out of 166 (of which most are review requests
but that was talked through before).

Cheers
