Try reading through the history of mailing list archives. 1) There isn't any real development. There never has been. 2) The forum idea comes up again and again. There has been an external site out there and it was neglected THREE times. There is yet another one coming. Matthew Nuzum could probably tell you when. I believe it is in code review. 3) Mailing lists _work_. If you don't agree, perhaps you should examine the manner in which about 99% of FOSS is developed. 4) For people with careers, less is more. Fewer areas to scan makes it easier to engage the process. This has been covered time and time again, and I believe Ken has officially stated something that rather echoes a similar idea. The 'problem' with Ubuntu art and design has nothing to do with any process, tool, etc. It has to do entirely with larger issues at hand beyond the scope of any team. Sincerely, TJS
