So, there are two separate issues here:
1) whether beginners should be in a different place from the developers
2) whether a beginners list should be a web forum or just another
mailing list?
I won't speak to point 1, because I can see both sides of it, but I'll
be adamant about point 2:
web forums suck
Please, if you're gonna do this, make it a mailing list. Preferrably some
place that also has an NNTP feed, and a (gack) web view for those who prefer
that.
Why do people insist on reinventing email, badly?
