I think such a list/newsgroup is appropriate. I personally still
learning from those resources and would like to have such a local one.
Also, I guess that the Israeli Linux community is getting bigger and
bigger (probably like most Linux communities) and there might be enough
traffic for such a list right now. I dont think that muchof the traffic
here is from newbies: How many times have you seen lately - "HELP! my X
is stuck in 8bpp!!!!!!! " ... . This is the basic newbie stuff. These
are quite rare here. (Also, IMHO, These are better handled with a
newsgroups interface, especially when traffic is high).
But leave all the intelligent arguments aside. Everyone of us has it's
own REALLY important view.
The question is :
Are the subscribers here interested?
If so - speak up.
Boaz.
