Thanks all for great feedback, I will try to do a short summary:


> Wiki
> ----
Wiki page is obvious and easy consensus for us. It should contain all 
important information about UX, such as "how to contribute", "where to 
go to start", various links, etc.


> Mailing list - [UX]
> -------------------
Everybody agrees that discussions should happen on the mailing list with 
[UX] tag in the subject. There is no consensus if the discussion should 
be just general or detailed as well. (We should continue this discussion 
in separate thread)


> Discussion forum - (terminate)
> ------------------------------
It's agreed that AskBot doesn't work very well - it is a bit chaotic and 
also big problem is disconnection from the rest of OpenStack teams. It 
was suggested to search for another solution (also no consensus on which 
one).


> IRC meetings
> ------------
Very welcome from everybody.


> Launchpad (StoryBoard in the future)
> ------------------------------------
Also welcome, until StoryBoard is ready for us, we should keep track of 
BPs and bugs in Launchpad and document how to work with it.


> Wishlist (currently Launchpad)
> ------------------------------
Seems like nice idea. We should figure out what would be the best way to 
provide this list, but it might be as simple as registering new bug or 
blueprint in UX's Launchpad (at least from the beginning).


> Storage place (GitHUb)
> ----------------------
We should do research on what tool would be useful for us. GitHub (or 
OpenStack's git repository) can work with combination of gerrit. It 
looks that we should at least give it a try.

> Templates library
> -----------------
Yes, could be stored at the same place as other materials, just marked 
and linked properly.


> ??? (user community for feedback gathering)
> -------------------------------------------
Needs more research - still trying to figure out where and how the best 
connect with the user community.


So mostly we agreed on all suggested tools which makes me very happy. I 
will start setting up the obvious ones and for the rest 
(+controversial), I am going to start separate threads, where we can 
discuss in more details and follow up at Summit.

Thank you all for your feedback, you will hear from me soon
