Hi guys,
..but my question is perhaps too complex?

Should I perhaps ask my question to the developer list?
I've try to sign up to "Ubuntu GNOME QA Team" found on 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/ContactUs , but it leads to a lost 
page...
Eventually, could anyone suggest me where I could post this kind of 
question?

many thanks

Davide
