I see your point, but doesn't python-list already fill the role you indicate may be diminished? Seems like the new list is meant to fill a different need. Perhaps one concern would be over-use of the mentoring list when someone would be fine with python-list. I just don't see people turning away from python-list in favor of the mentoring list.<div>

Thanks (truly!) for considering the feedback.<br>
<br>
The only further comment I need to make is:<br>
<div class="im"><br>

</div>By the nature of the problem, I doubt it will be realised, since the<br>
problem is knowledge *not* getting to the right people. That's hardly<br>
something that will be observable nor measurable easily, certainly not<br>
within a few months.<br>
<br>
So, while I will be deprived of a clear “I told you so” response, that<br>
isn't something I'm much interested in anyway; on the other hand, the<br>
members of a closed forum won't be able to detect the problem easily and<br>
will likely not see the need to fix it.<br>
<br>
Anyway, good hunting in your endeavours. I hope you can encourage more<br>
people to quickly become confident enough to discuss their Python issues<br>
in public.<br>
