That's an important point to decide on. Of course we are responsible of 
gathering the UCs, but I don't want to spend my time on sending e-mails 
that would anyway be similar to the questionnaire. Unless you were 
thinking about us harvesting application or vocabulary sites and fill in 
the questionnaire ourselves...

I tried to detail the part about vocabulary description to give hints 
about such things.
I also hope items about versioning and mapping will provide interesting 
insight on possible requirements.
