What is a Beginner? Someone who has a PhD in CS, has coded 20 years in C++ and Haskell, and now starts with Nim. Or a 12 years old Kid?
And is Beginners area where beginners answer questions of other beginners, maybe wrong? For the NEWS I think we have the blog area of the website, but I agree a more active weekly news area may be good, maybe you can write that? For Internals I think mosts devs are using IRC. And general conclusion, sub-areas will make more sense when there is much more traffic than now.
