I'm not a hacker (maybe in the next life ...), but am a former cataloguer and reference techie with current responsibility for monitoring a broad range of innovative discussions, including this forum; and we all know there are vendor types on code4lib, as well. I imagine there are, in fact, enough non-coder folks here to pipe up if things start down a not-so-functional path or a path with which we might take issue. Also, I'm sure those of us here who don't code are raising code4lib points of discussion in our own workplaces and, as needed, bringing those comments back here. So, for me, "here" is just fine. (And I also don't want yet another list!) Cheers. Din.
