Of course I am more up to speed on the design side but it seems to me
that since 0.6 was released, the majority of the questions or user
feedback has been received via bugzilla or the design list. The
exception here might be Cosmo - I know there are quite a few support
questions posted to this list. For chander-dev or scooby-dev, I
can't really say so I would have to look.
Like Heikki, I think this would be a good goal for the Beta timeframe
but I am not aware that we have enough volume or a real problem with
this currently. Although I am having trouble managing all the lists I
currently subscribe to, is a users mailing list how people typically
address this issue?

Is it time for the *-users mailing lists? i.e. chandler-users,

Ok...so how could we make this more visible?
1) We do have a page on reporting bugs which points people to
bugzilla - should we make this more prominent? I think it's
important we accommodate people using bugzilla to report
problems and feature requests since many people are used to
using something like this for other open source projects.
Certainly bugzilla is one of the avenues for reporting problems
and feature requests, and we should continue to make this prominent.
2) Yes, we would like to drive people to the design list as
well. I can also see that the dev lists would be more
appropriate in some cases. Should we add a section to the
reporting problems page that more clearly lists the options?
The question is really a support question, I don't think the dev
lists are the appropriate place for these kind of questions.
Perhaps the design list has enough going on now that it's not
really the right place either. Will it soon be time to start
another forum for this?
Cheers,
