To some degree, I think it exists, but I can say that's the big hurdle I
have left with large deployments - getting our wants, needs, issues, etc
into blueprints or code review comments.  We are getting there - slowly -
but this is were we can really push the "feedback loop" as a group.  It
will shake things up a bit as this opens the door for specs to come in
without developers assigned, but maybe we want that.  :)

Not that I want to add more meetings to my plate, but I have been
wondering if there should be some regular sync between all the working
group leaders, the User Committee members and some potential other set of
folks.  Mainly to make sure we are focusing on the big problems from all
the right perspectives are getting useful feedback on key features form
several groups.  I'd also love to know what's working and what is not from
other groups.

1,2,3 - not it! :)  I agree, though, someone needs to keep us all inline.
We are a rowdy bunch. ;)
