I'd like to see debian-guru: the newbies won't be afraid that they are
joining a list with no help (everyone is already on user), and the guru's
get their low volume list since no one is on it yet (this is a vote
against debian-newbie).
In the long run I don't foresee any problems, since I was on linux-newbie
for almost a year and that list was great, without the admin work I've
heard suggested before (experienced newbies helped the real newbies). If
it's not to much to ask, perhaps a debian-guru could be made and see how
it works.
I don't have any problems with the newbies asking questions here, it's
hard to tell when a question is debian or non-debian. Also subscribing to
debian-user and linux-newbie can be too much.
My apologies for adding to this debate, however, hopefully something good
can come out of it.
