Hi :) I think this is a great idea. It fills a gap.
The Docs Team is one of the best, probably THE best, at having people acting as informal "Liaison Officer"s between various other mailing lists and the team here. However there are quite a few times where it would be nice to have a more official way of getting information out there or for finding out what is going on elsewhere. The current informal liaisons are with Marketing, via Jean and me although they wont listen to me at all but at least i can feedback from them to here. Jean is effective there. Accessibility, via me only, it's a very low-traffic list and mostly just user-support Translators, via at least 2 other people and me. Both the other 2 are more effective but i'm embarrassed to admit i've forgotten the names of both my friends there Users, via me and usually a bunch of other people but typically those others get swept up in other things and quickly find other people have taken over that role anyway AskLO (bot) via another chap whose name i've forgotten despite considering him a friend. Devs via a couple of people. I think Marc Pare is here? Again i can't remember names :( errr, i thought there were more, such as QA via Joel but then i suddenly thought that maybe i don't see them on this list after-all. I am usually fairly rubbish at names. It's the good attitude in the emails that i remember more clearly but everyone in this team is good in that way. Perhaps we should have some fake-fights to make it more exciting?
