The report was good while it lasted. If we don't have a report, then many people will subscribe to both the -beginner list and the -user list (and maybe even the -devel list). That reduces the effectiveness of multiple mailing lists. If somebody (not necessarily you) were willing to monitor multiple mailing lists and write a newsletter about them every two weeks or so, then I think that inventing a -beginner list is a great idea. If not, then I don't think that -beginner would work so well.
