I think we could really benefit from a ux.gnome.org site for

Probably a bit OT here -- at the risk of causing myself some list
moderation work, setting followups to usabil...@gnome.org :)
FWIW, we do already have <http://usability.gnome.org>, which used to
redirect to d.g.o/projects/usability, but now redirects to l.g.o/
UsabilityProject.
Do we need a separate site outside of l.g.o for what you propose? Do
we need to add ux.gnome.org as an alias for usability.gnome.org? I
don't know... maybe. The text-heavy UsabilityProject area could
certainly do with a more attractive homepage, at least -- I basically
just shovelled everything over verbatim from the old d.g.o usability
site as quickly as possible when d.g.o was being deprecated, and
haven't really had time to do a great deal of remodelling since.
We could even possibly get people grazing through and helping out,
especially people like the gnome-look community which is thriving and
still producing content on their brainstorm pages...
http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=185
Our current equivalent, I guess, is <http://live.gnome.org/UsabilityProject/Whiteboard
>. It's probably true that we haven't evangelised that enough, and
of course some of the larger GNOME projects have their own design
areas on l.g.o so don't use the usability Whiteboard area anyway.
Cheeri,
