Should there be a new, separate forum for those wanting to discussion techniques and syntax relating to AppleScript?

No, the "OS X Software" forum does a nice job on that...and there is an Apple AppleScript programmer (user name is "Sal" I believe) who frequents the forums in look of AppleScript questions...very helpful...

Ah. That must be Sal Saghoian, author of the forthcoming AppleScript 1-2-3 from Peachpit Press. He is, I believe, the tip-top AppleScript guy at Apple Computer. So you might say he knows something about the subject! :-)

I would postulate that the Developer forum might often be the correct place for AppleScript questions.

I think it's fine to put AS questions in Developer or in Mac OS X. I just don't think it's immediately clear where such questions belong, and therefore those questions end up in any number of places. To me, that suggests a need for a special AppleScript forum. I'm not insisting on it; nevertheless, it's not a bad idea.

I believe that we did have an AppleScript forum at one time. It was so popular that after a few months of deadness, it was merged into the Software forum.

Clearly, the OS X forum is NOT the correct place for AppleScript questions, unless they refer to scripting part of the OS itself.

You yourself suggested AppleScript questions belong in the Developer area. Which is it? I think that precisely because it is so potentially confusing, a dedicated AS forum makes sense. But no one seems to agree with me.
