I agree with Tim. First, splitting the list would mean that we would have to monitor more groups. Second, I have learned a lot from the more sophisticated uses simply by keeping up with this list-group and I doubt the newbie list would be nearly as rich as the current list. Third (although I don't do it enough) I can help the newbies with those basic questions that I used to ask and in some small way contribute to the group. It is that last (important if not crucial) input that makes this list so attractive to the new users and thus enables them to get up the rather steep learning curve that Zope offers. Ron

I propose that we split^H^H^Hfork the zope@zope.org into the following
zope-adm - Discussion on how to administer zope and problems/bugs related to this. Including connectivity to external databases and webservers.
zope - Current list. mostly on how to develop IN zope (as opposed to zope-dev which is on how to develop zope). Here are discussions on DTML, XXX Scripts and External Methods.
zope-newbies - For the zopistas-to-be :-) Topics for new users, simpler howtos, best practices, etc...
I would agree that splitting into these three would work. If it's too fine-grained, everything will just migrate back to zope, because there will be confusion in overlapping issues.
