No, only those concerning UI, as it seems. Probably there are "equal" 
and "more equal" persons for community processes. Such is the life.

OK, we have UI spec. Please link it from the Projects website and/or 
project ui specs documents. Are there some other UI spec fragments, 
which are not linked ?

However I would still like to know why "Project" menu combines file 
manipulation actions, and some project actions, as I asked in the 
original e-mail:

Is there a document that summarizes advantages of distributing project 
actions between "File" (now Project), Build and Run menus as opposed to 
collecting them under Project menu, which we had in the past ?

BTW "Recent Files" and "Close [file]" seem to be missing from the 
Project menu.
