Re: A question about Service Announcements/Project Development
This is mainly aimed at those who have probably had to move threads out of Project Development before, so Patrollers and Global Moderators+, really.
Im none of those, but I report plenty of post from the general bitcoin discussion section that get moved into both.
Where do you draw the line between Service Announcements and Project Development?
IMHO the difference is
Service ANN: Hey, we made this. Take a look!
Proj. Dev.: Hey, Im/we're trying to get this to work, but need more X, Y and/or Z.
Does the announcement have to explicitly make it clear that there is development going on actively? Or can an announcement be posted there if the service is already active and running but they are planning on adding a new feature or something similar?
Thus, for me, its the later. An ANN can be made if the main service is allready running. Id actually expect a service to improve over time. The question is: do you have something thats working or not.
[Apologies for the double post but I feel this has been buried]
Consider this a free bump even though I am not staff
IMHO should be in digital goods with all the other sold source code/scripts. Either that or in services, but I dont think CoinFeeder is going to support the code.
Same as above. Fully developed software, ready for sale. At least it looks like this.
So what has been keeping one thread in there for longer than 2 years, and the other even after a report (at least, I'm fairly sure I reported it)? Clarification would be awesome. Thanks.
Some sections are handled more often than others.
The unofficial list[1] says:

Some boards which are obvious were left out of the list
Section: Bitcoin
Project Development - Organization of Bitcoin and related projects (sites, software not yet developed/in development), bounty campaigns, advertising etc. No hiring here although "looking for partners" threads should be here.
Section: Economy
Service Announcements (child board of Marketplace) - "New services and significant information about existing services. Do not create excessive "announcements" just to advertise your service." All Bitcoin service website announcements should go here.
