hum, I'm not a developer but I can make QA, support, documentation, etc. 
There is a lot to do in our project that doesn't need to be developer or 
too technical. Why do you feel that and what should we change to enhance 
this?

This is to make the developers aware of what is going on concerning QA. 
This is of interest for them, it's an essential part in the development 
process, this is why I cc this list.

Because I suspect a lot of users are also subscribed here and I find it 
less noisy to post here than on the users list. If we don't get enough 
people, I'll see to post on the users list too.

But it's you who make this separation :) look, there is no need to be 
developer in my request, but there is an organization to put in place 
that needs that each link in the chain be aware of what happened in the 
process.
Sometime, copy a list is just to share the information, and it's the 
case for the dev@ list in my mail.

And yes definitely users are part of the community, but I prefer to seek 
the discussion lists first rather than the users lists that I consider 
like a working tool so I'm always cautious to not generate more noise 
than needed. That's only why I post on this list and not on the users 
list. I'm used to do the same on the FR project.

Hope this explain my approach and sorry if I sound hard this morning, 
that was not intended (surely not enough awake ;)

Kind regards
Sophie
