This page lists help requests that have been submitted and are due to be answered. They cannot be answered immediately, but are listed here to show that they have not been ignored.
Questions that seek a subtle definition, explanation or clarification of specific programming features or concepts tend to be difficult to answer and are often classified as medium priority. This is because they are likely to be interesting to many readers, but need to be carefully thought through and worded so that the answer is clear, not more confusing.
Questions about relatively complex programming techniques like Java threads and JDBC tend to require longer answers and often slip into the medium priority category because of time constraints. This is a difficult trade-off because these questions also tend to be more interesting.
