[uf-discuss] Idea: beginners/getting started list

[Colin Barrett]

As someone who's helped set up and determine mailing list policy, it's  
MUCH easier to have as few lists as possible. I think the idea of a  
"newbie" list is good, but everything else is really relevant to  
everyone involved. When creating new mailing lists, a good question to  
ask is: "How many people that would join this list would NOT need to  
join any others?" e.g. a list for people that work on the localization  
aspect of a project is good idea-- most localizers don't need to be on  
the development list.

Also, I don't think the traffic on this list warrants "splitting up"  
this list.
