I am subscribed to the developer list, and have had good feedback and discussion with developers when needed (particularly about the release notes). I think your idea Mary is a good one, because the developers have no problem discussing things from a doc team perspective (in my experience anyway), it just isn't something they always think about. If they knew they had a point of contact that was up-to-date on what they are doing then i think, over time, feedback and changes would be fed back to the doc team efficiently.

I wasn't trying to pin the dev team down or say that they were less than responsive, but an official statement from team can carry a lot more weight than just us talking individually. Communication and easy access are one of the things that has kept me on Ubuntu, something that other distros should be envious of. Corey
