Perhaps the usability list has been seen as a bikeshedding list, far
from useful, certainly it has been less active in recent years, but it
would have been a perfect place to request for involvement (to answer
your "why").  Prhaps it could be refocused to be about "user
experience", and getting together usability people, designers and
artists.

With both you and Jeremy Perry who are working hard on the shell
design, with Andreas Nilsson and friends¹, with the experienced people
from Sun, with designers from OpenSUSE and Ubuntu, in an open but
focused channel, we could assert we have a trusted team in charge, and
avoid accusations of changes being made by lone runners.


Cheers,

        Frederic
