If that's what people think then fine, I was purely coming at it from the
point of view of people who really don't care / understand what's being
said in asterisk-dev - asterisk-dev can be overwhelming at times,
especially for the type of developers who we hope will come to Asterisk -
Web Developers - they don't care about compiling/gcc/c/whatever is said in
asterisk-dev

It's all about welcoming people into the community and making that as easy
as possible.

Like I said, just an idea and up to the masses :) I'm easy!
