Users mail list for Dropbox

I've been wondering lately why there has been so little useful stuff written about
Fargo. It's an interesting product from a lot of angles.
So I've been asking questions, and this is what I've figured out.
1. There are great places to go for reviews of Mac products.
2. If you want to know about software that's sold on Amazon, you'll find lots of reviews from users. I understand that well because I depend on reviews for almost everything I buy on Amazon.
3. For IOS and Android apps there are the stores, which have reviews.
But there is no place, that I know for Dropbox users to find out what the great apps are and what users are doing with them.
Probably because Dropbox as a platform is so new?
It's like a fog here, because we're all operating with so little information.
So let's solove the problem. I started a mail list today for users of Dropbox who want to be in the loop on all kinds of new products. Obviously it's a chicken and egg thing. If enough users show up, the developers will follow, and vice versa.
We'll probably need some rules of conduct at some point, or move to a blog or blogs, because mail lists always tend to flame out if there's no moderation, but for now, it's a good way for people to meet, if there's enough interest.
As a vendor of a Dropbox-based product, I can tell you I am highly motivated to see this work. Most people who use Dropbox, some of whom would love a great outliner, don't know my product exists. I want desperately to fix that. :-)
