But then I don't neccessarily think you should. I think (personally) you
should help out on things that look interesting. I judge what is
interesting by the Subject line - if a poster isn't prepared to make is
descriptive enough, I won't read it.

I think splitting up debian-user into seperate groups would just mean that
people would subscribe to all of them and send their message to all of
them in the hope that someone will help.
I like the idea of a debian-news mailing list, and would think it would be
a good idea to gate whatever it sent to it to the debian-user mailing
list. Perhaps the debian-news mailing list could become similiar to the
ApacheWeek <URL:http://www.apacheweek.com/> newsletter that gets sent out
every week.
