It like that idea.

But what experienced programmers are going to be reading the beginners 
list?

I think it would be better to have a win32, and a general list, and an 
annoucement list.

People should also be asked if they want to subscribe to the mailing 
list when installing eu. Alot of people just don't understand how to use 
eu, and are intimidated by a mailing list.  They might be more 
interested when they discover that they can use the list to figure out 
how to use eu. Maybe even offer some kind of incentive for people to 
join the list.
