I have been using Xfce and Xubuntu for quite a while now. Although I am not a programmer I have subscribed to the developers list to keep up with what is happening. Personally I would appreciate a users list as I do not want to distract developers away from the continual development I appreciate with Xubuntu. Any problems I have had I have usually solved through the Ubuntu forums, but as some of these have been Xubuntu specific it would have been useful to have a Xubuntu specific users list which I believe would have sped up the process and made it easier to solve these issues.
Thank you to all who have made Xubuntu a great distro!
