Sure.

I can understand that.

The place where to bring questions to the devs has to be a visible and 
accessible place.

Visible: the us list is completely hidden (at least it was to me until 
Cedric brought it to my attention). From what I can see, it is also 
hidden to most of the public lists members.

Accessible: I know of plenty who don't speak or read English. Thus, even 
if they'd know about ux, they couldn't express themselves.

I guess there's some work to be done to resolve those two points.

BTW, what if many people jump in the ux list and post thousands of 
messages? ;)

Well, I could do it, yes. In fact, as you might have seen, I did for the 
first time a few hours ago. I can say that the latest answer my message 
received is not that encouraging (in short: do it yourself. Doh).

Thanks for your answer. All the best,
