Hi Bram, Thanks for helping push this along! I agree that, assuming DCAT can help make this UX discussion happen quickly, it'd be ideal to plan out the roles/responsibilities of such a UX group in the next DCAT meeting.
I'd highly recommend we advertise when this topic will be discussed (i.e. which DCAT meeting), to ensure we can get all interested parties to attend that DCAT meeting. From discussions at OR16, it sounded like there was a good amount of interest in establishing a UX group as soon as possible (as their work could almost begin immediately, and need not wait on the UI developer team). So, it'd be wonderful to see this group established soon (whether as a subgroup of DCAT, or as a separate, highly collaborative group). Thanks again! I'll gladly join the DCAT meeting to help move this effort forward in whatever way I can.
