Hi Bob,
I see the need, but am a bit concerned about establishing another mailing
list. You can see from the dev list, that there are A LOT of non-dev topics
already. Some of these are implementation issues, some end-user support,
and a small smattering of Java jabberwocky. The dev list has sort of become
the default mailing list for everything, and this is where people tend to
go for support. The user list receives much less traffic, in spite of the
fact that most of what is on the dev list is really not development
related. While I think it is a good idea, there is inertia to overcome.

Another idea which we have been contemplating is the establishment of a
forum. This came out of the meeting in Oslo a few weeks back. I have been
working with Lars Helge on this, but there is some more work which needs to
be done before it would even be ready for testing. However,maybe a forum
would be a better media for such discussions?

Regards,
Jason
