Nope. I'm not saying no, I won't. I'm saying no, I can't. I don't
even know if there is one.
I didn't say it was necessarily off topic there, but the majority of
the discussions are on how to program with OpenGL, differences in the
versions of the specification and discussions on the specs and
features themslves of the API versions -- and the occasional flame war
on D3D vs OpenGL. Hardware discussions are often ignored or are
referred. No official rules as far as I know. There's a faq, but it
mostly deals with programming issues that might come up about how to
use certain functions in OpenGL, nothing about what may or may not be
posted. That and the fact that the name of the group has API in it
kind of suggests that it's a programming group.
It just seemed counter productive to send the guy there because he's
not likely to find what he's looking for there.
