The usability reports are good.  I think they should stay.  It's just that 
they take a lot of work.  I don't know who here does usability for a career 
or for research (does anyone?).  Since most of us developers/contributors are 
users, too, it's just easier for us as a system to "contribute on a 
bit-by-bit basis".  KDE-usability as a whole is simply too informal for long 
reports.

Despite what I just said above about informality, I think we should be more 
formal than a bug report.  Somewhere in the interrim.

The simplest system would be to make the archives to KDE usability more 
visible.

If we wanted to go farther than that we'd post the "last 10 messages" and the 
"most recent active threads" on the list using a mail-to-web system of some 
sort (which I don't know anything about).
