Speaking of repetition... :-)

There's been suggestion before of a zope-novice list. The fear in the
past is that that this would strand all the new users w/o any experienced
users to provide support.

I spend a lot of time on the PostgreSQL mailing lists. There are about 15
lists there, divided into different interfaces, but also including a
-novice, a -general, and a -hackers. I think, with little exception, it
works great.

Perhaps the -general/-hackers split you're suggestion will be more
palatable to our community than the -novice/-general split that has been
brought up before.

Take care,
