Hi Debo,

It's really cool to see people interested in helping out with UX issues!
There's actually a few people working on UX problems in the community,
Jacki's initial email made it apparent that they're not easy to find at
the moment. Liz updated the How To Contribute [1] page in order to help
fix this, I hope that you'll be able to join the team and help with
existing or new initiatives. Many thanks!

Julie
