Hi Italo,

I feel a need to second your statements ;-)

Yep.

Agreed. And, let's say, that we might not have the chance to develop
such patterns with some non-community users (maybe we do have, but here
we need someone who is experienced with some usability methods like
card-sorting and such stuff). But, I suggested website analytics, so we
can improve the page continuously.

In general, a "+1" for targeting those "external stakeholders".
Nevertheless, I do also think that we can come up with something that
helps to make a link to the work of the community ... but as you already
mentioned, maybe this is already included in your "new community
members".

Cheers,
Christoph
