Well, I'd suggest the following. (Anything not mentioned stays as
you wrote it.)
perl6-language
This is the "theory of" list. Discussion of the design of the
perl6
language, and its desired (or unwanted) feature list. If you have
patches and/or suggestions for improving the Perl 6 design
documents
(Apocalypses, Synopses, etc.), send them here.
perl6-howto
This is the "practice of" list. Come here to ask "How do I...",
"What
does XYZ mean?", or "Why doesn't this work?" Novices are
especially
welcome.
(Note: I envision this list being much like beginners@perl.org, but
I never liked that name because it seems like it would drive away
those who have a question but do not consider themselves beginners.
On the other hand, maybe it's more important to explicitly welcome
novices. I could go either way: maybe the above list should be
'perl6-beginners')
