All,

I'm a newcommer to this list (see the recent "The "no border text" feature in Writer 3.5 is not complete" thread) who was directed to it by Cedric while discussing on the French general discussion list (same hint was given by Regina on the EN discussion list).

As I understand (correct me if necessary) this list goal -- which I find excellent -- is to narrow the topic to actual user experience enhancements (hence the "UX"). In short, here people are supposed to discuss the pros and cons of current or suggested behaviours in the software.

I'm quite surpised -- to say the least -- when reading several of the answers that my messages and NoOp's have received in the thread in question. My feeling, at this first participation, is that apparently it's quite difficult to make ideas flow here when one's not from the happy few.

All this seems completely contradictory with the UX list goals.

So here are a few questions of mine that will help me understand the nuts and bolts of this list: Where do the discussions lead? Who decides to (not) implement a change discussed here? When is a consensus considered valid? Who decides that? Is there a global steering that overviews the talks and validates the choices? -> Is there somewhere a "nettiquette" or a general use manual that states how *this* list is supposed to work and how discussions are/should be held?


As I wish to post a few new messages wrt various UX topics I'm considering important, I'd better know how things are held so that the threads don't go wild because of respective ignorance.


Thanks for your time.
Best regards,
