As Editorial Board Chairman I ensured the top of the UBL.xml.org
Forums page had this disclaimer regarding questions and discussions:
http://ubl.xml.org/forum
Developer mail list - UBL-Dev
The UBL-Dev mail list is the long-established public forum for
posting questions and discussing implementation and real-world
use of the Universal Business Language. The Archives go back to
December 2003. The OASIS Mail List Manager is where one
administers the OASIS mail lists associated with an email
address. The UBL.XML.org Editorial Board looks forward to your
contributions to UBL-Dev.
... so that visitors would not expect to find threaded discussions on
UBL.xml.org.

Because UBL.xml.org is a community forum and the UBL repository is a
committee forum. So far it has been mostly committee members who
have been posting the availability of resources, and most of those
resources are found in the UBL repository.
I've been asking UBL users about contributions to UBL.xml.org and I'm
usually getting citations of privacy and competitive advantage (and
being too busy!) as reasons for not taking the time to share their
work with UBL.

It is the responsibility of the community to support a community forum.
