That's not as much of a problem as you think it might be.  This approach
has already been tried by the Mandrake (aka Mandriva now) team and it
worked just fine.  What happened was that there were two lists (not
including the development lists), expert and newbie.  Alot of the
newbies helped each other with questions that had already been solved,
plus there was much use of the archives, and in addition to that of
course alot of the experts either stayed on newbie or crossposted to
both newbie and expert.  It works.

Missiles of ligneous or osteal consistency have the
potential of fracturing osseous structure, but
appellations will eternally remain innocuous.
