Finally got around to it. It's quite simple. I export a picture from iPhoto to the desktop. I drag that photo picture from the desktop to the sandisk flash drive. While it is …

Based on an idea that someone emailed me the other day, as well as thread that was started in the Suggestions/Comments forum, I've been thinking about creating an Apple Developer C…

Great idea, but I am not sure that Apple would go for it... Best I see coming out of this is they make their own forum at the ADC site, but then you have to wonder why they have…

As a select developer this would be great but I don't know of any way you could identify developers correctly. Also, some developers might be reluctant to post since it's not Appl…

Note that we would only do this if the forum was officially approved by Apple. I'm thinking that ultimately, if they're interested, we could send *them* all the email addresses, a…

1.) How about having people who want to participate send in a digital photo of one of their ADC mailings with their address and name on it? 2.) Doesn't Apple offer to developers t…

I'd be interested. The best thing to do is to coordinate the log in verification with Apple.

connect.apple.com is down for maintenance right now so I can't check but I believe every registered ADC developer has an id#. I know I do.

The good - Apple developers don't have a place to chat. It's a Catch-22. We get the betas, we're supposed to test and work with them, and all we can do is talk to Apple ONLY. Why c…

Kosmo's rogue Mac site (MacNet?) has something similar. I believe he requires participants in his developer forum to sign an NDA. I don't know if Apple has officially sanctioned it…

My feeling is that any non-Apple hosted confidential discussion may start out with the best of intentions, but pretty soon would be subject to "leaks" and gatecrashers. The upshot…

I think the only way Apple would support something like this is if it was hosted by them. They're trying to control the leaks. It doesn't help that it's obvious that ADC members an…

Wow this is a tough one. Well I'm a Student member of ADC and as such never get many seed to talk about. However, I could never see Apple being a fan of this. I peeked around but …

Hmmm... Very interesting idea. However, I'm of the belief that this should absolutely *not* be done without written approval from Apple, and any verification system should involve…

If Apple will play ball I think it would be extremely beneficial to Apple. I do have the feeling that Apple would fear leaks. Great idea though. It's actually just the kind of comm…

Good idea. Apple should have set up this forum years ago. Cheers.

Gorgonzola, your question was whether anyone who is an ADC member would be interested in participating in this endeavor. As you weren't asking whether we think if Apple will play b…

This would be excellent, but please pardon my extreme scepticism that MacNN has the ability to make this happen, considering all the dependencies. Good luck. I hope you succeed.

This would be a wonderfull thing, something that should have been done so long ago... the developer community, esp. the small to medeum sized developers could really take off wit…

I am an ADC member. gorg- your original post did not state what the purpose/reason for the is forum would be. That is needed before being able to answer your question. Assumption…
