Ahh, it's the other way round we don't see (advocacy -> www).

Yes, this worries me. We have very recently had a couple of new
volunteers join the team who have been actively helping me with the new
portal - I've certainly not heard of anyone being turned away. It was
also not long ago that Vince solicited new design ideas from the
community on -general.
Wrt the closed status of the list, I think (please correct me if I'm
wrong Marc/Vince) this is mainly because we try to keep it very focused.
It is very much a developers meeting place where we *all* contribute
heavily to the work. It is not a support list, or general discussion
list.
Regards, Dave.
