Harry,
Thanks for bringing Evan Williams’ bold statement to my attention. There’s a movement afoot in the Agile community to bring UX into our projects. I recently attended CodeFreeze 2010 where Alan Cooper, Jeff Patton, Ward Cunningham, and David Hussman (all in my @BobMacNeal/software-luminaries group on Twitter) talked about the lack of UX focus on Agile projects. The consensus was the Agilists are good at delivery, but we stink at discovery — the process of figuring out our users like, want, need, etc.
Alison: That’s great. Thank you. Now if only there were time enough to look at everything!

Natalie: Nice site, I like the idea. Did you use the hosted version of Wordpress or the full version? You might be...
dave: Would you care to share how one goes about building a site like this?
