Comment 94 for bug 882274

Reading this bug I would like to point that webpage to people who care about design interactions and how the community and the unity team interact:
http://people.canonical.com/~platform/design/upstream.html

That page has been built to make design issues tracking easier, if you look at this page you can see lot of design issues which have been raised, reviewed, discussed and handed back for implementation to the different teams (unity, desktop, etc)

Those who claim that the design is not open to discussion should look at this page and the number of items on it to have an any of the load of requests landing on a small team and the great efforts that are made to have open and public communication (the current list of bugs which got some agreement between submitter and designer on what to do is over an hundred)
