I would propose we consider changing the "Development Team" to the "Product Team" and integrating UX, UI, Testing, and Programming into a more coordinated and cohesive group. Just my $0.02.
+1 But I'd leave it as "Development" - people are more familiar with that term than the rather nebulous "Product Team"... which sounds almost like merchandising. :)
If UX is integrated into development, then it is part of development.

Oh! (Copying over to dev and user lists.) There are so very many people interested in working on the UX (I seem to recall several people had been signed up -- it's hard to believe not one of them would volunteer for this simple task.
If "the team's business" means writing the intro, Team Details and Charter, I can do that. What other business might there be? (Even though I'm leading the Moderators Team, I suspect the "business" is probably different.)
If it requires a lot of work, let's put it up on the To-Do List page, to try to recruit someone. But what kind of business is it?
The above, plus managing ux requests and making sure the team has a function that it can maintain. So if we have a discussion about a ux piece, there's a gitlab issues tracker or similar we can all go to.
But the actual setup is up to the leader and team tbh.
"A function that it can maintain" is definitely true. A UX team would be notably different from, say, the Docs or Vectors team, in that it is (ideally) inward facing rather than outward facing. Documentation and marketing have essentially stand-alone output, with their input being into our development efforts. A UX team operates in the reverse direction, so will require setting up tighter coordination. So a principle goal for setting up a UX team would be working out a good strategy for getting development done on the changes they identify.
I have some further ideas here on how to relate the team to our development roadmap, and would be happy to brainstorm with anyone interested in getting this ux team up and running.
