Which ones, Roberto?  Isn't that the point?  There are no SO's where 
they fit.  There would be the @large if it existed.  IMO, that is the place 
for users to have input.  It would need to be organized and recognized, 
of course and this is precisely the point about which Danny wrote in his 
message.  IMO, it is very pertinent to the GA discussions.
