I'll forward your request along to the Swing folks, but a better answer might be the forums on the new java client site: http://javadesktop.org The site is a lot like the 2d interest list; the Sun people are listening in and occasionally commenting, but it's also for and by the community overall. I know the Swing and AWT forums have had quite a bit of activity since the site opened in June; check it out and see if it addresses your needs.

Sorry for continuing an off-topic thread (and for cross-posting to JAI-INTEREST), but maybe someone can establish a mailing list for swing topics?
The various java lists can be incredibly helpful and it has long puzzled me that there isn't a Swing list. I have been a bit disappointed with the Swing Connection because of its out-of-date feel, though this has improved a bit recently.
Ideally a swing list would be hosted by sun through the Swing Connection - it would probably require limited additional work for them as far as setup given the existing listserv systems.
If no Sun staff are actually available to post responses on the list, that would be fine, it could be user-supported. This is not all that different from some of the other official lists.
I know I would join such a list, and I'm sure I'd be able to contribute some answers in addition to asking questions.
If this idea doesn't fly with Sun but there is interest in a swing list, I would recommend that interested people sign up for the list mentioned below (or some alternative). It would also be useful if Sun advertised the existence of the list somewhere on the java.sun.com site if possible, so that people with questions know where to go.
In any case, I think there is enough user demand for a list resource that it justifies some kind of action.

this list however is not really good (and not advanced).
