While that is true, there is a difference between "public" and "accessible".
An archived mailing list is great, but how many people are going to dig
around in there if they can't be actively involved. Maybe a monthly "status
report" from the UI teams would be helpful to summarise what has been worked
on.

Yes, I do actually and I think it rocks. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't
speaking so much for me directly since I generally know where to dig up the
information I need. I was just speaking of behalf of the not-quite-developer
super users in the community that do like to have some input on matters even

many ways the least helpful.

Thanks for the reply and for clearing stuff up. :)
