Hi,
I'm replying to the list(s) because Scott did. No future responses (from me)
will go to the list(s).

With all due respect, you didn't see the need for a Cocoa Dev Central, or a
cocoadev.com (etc), either.

Yep, three general lists. Except, while Apple has stated that they'll allow
newbie questions and in fact encourages it (and that's good, and a main
reason for the existence of CDC), this list will not allow newbie questions.

Perhaps they will. But I hardly think there's much effort involved in
subscribing and then reading email. If mailman supports the ability to block
cross-posts and it becomes a problem, I'll block cross-posted messages.
Furthermore, most cross-posts are from newbies, I think, and I don't suspect
it should be much of a problem.

Established folks who have sought help have not gotten as much as they
otherwise could have due to a bunch of "How do I change the text in an
NSTextField?" questions - good questions for newbies - waste of time for
someone who knew that answer two years ago.
Within an hour, 40 or more people signed up. We'll see where it goes. You're
welcome to not sign up if you want. Perhaps the list isn't needed. But we'll
see.
