Yes, we would encourage you to use bugzilla for bugs and specific

conversations regarding larger design issues, and we would like
to have this meeting in order to set the tone that we will not be
responding to all of this immediately and that the design team
has some dedicated time set aside to process this. We anticipate
that issues will be arising where a problem has been identified
but a solution is not as obvious and we see value by
communicating this type of thing via the design list channel.
OK. I agree that the list is great for discussing larger design
issues. I think there is a gray area of what are "feature requests"
and what are "design issues" once you we start talking about user
interaction, but that's something that I'm sure will get worked out
along the way.
BTW, in my experience following Mozilla development, some of the
most bitter and prolonged discussions on its Bugzilla were about UI
bugs/feature requests. For whatever reason(s), a lot of people get
really annoyed when their request gets marked "invalid/won't fix",
especially when the decision seems arbitrary. One thing that works
in Chandler's favour here is that it's more clear who's in
charge. :-) I'd encourage you guys to just be upfront and clear in
your design principles, so that you can always refer back to them
when you reject a request.
That's great input, thanks Davor.
