I'm going to put on my volunteer moderator hat, given to me the developer, and officially ask that you don't create any separate list about MLO right now. Wait for an okay from the developers for any idea like this before you jump in and mix things up and frankly, create more discord. This is their list, set up for peer support and discussion. If you create another list I believe it risks fracturing the community we have here.
What's "clear" to you is not at all clear to many of us who have actually been here doing this for years. It's time to get back to talking about how to use the features we already have, IMNSHO. Hello It is clear that new users and long-time users have very different requirements. I think it's important for the long-time users of MLO to have a place where they can have in depth, carefully considered conversation, normally having read the relevant parts of the manual about the extremely complex system (or should I say 'platform'? ;^) ) that his MLO. And to be able to do so without distracting noise & chatter from new users. As a new user I would like a place where I can have a very different, much more informal sort of conversation. When I first moved to MLO I wanted to be able to spray out at least 1 at least one question every half hour of using the system. But I did not want to irritate the experts during the process. I do NOT expect to have all my questions answered. I want something more like a chat room or Twitter, where you tweet out to the universe and you may or may not get a direct message back, depending on whether or not anyone else is listening (i.e. following *and* reading). I also want to be able to retract or edit my questions if I discover answer to my question or have the misspelled something before anyone got to answer my question. Possible solutions: 1. Another Google Group. It's quite easy to start another Google Group called say "MyLifeOrganised.new.users" On the down side editing posts appears to be impossible (??) 2. Google+ Perhaps a more modern solution? (Although I have never used it seriously) 3. A Free Hosted Forum e.g. - https://www.proboards.com/free-forum-features - http://www.lefora.com/ - ?? Any thoughts/other suggestions? If nobody stops me in the first instance I will probably just start new Google Group as a experiment, but with the clear understanding that we decide to delete the whole group if unsuccessful and/or anyone has a better idea.
