Well, me, I'm signed up to the UX list. But it just makes another list to track. Speaking for myself, I'm taken up right now working on forging Alfresco into a useful tool for the project, so I don't currently have a lot of time for other stuff, except when specifically requested to do something. Are we lacking some kind of software tool to help bring teams together? Is it worth putting this subject on the agenda of an SC meeting and talking about it voice there? -- David Nelson -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
