I think that context support via this list is excellent and that there is no need for additional support channels. Personally, I prefer mailing lists and newsgroups and dislike forums. Concerning the separation: I don't know if this is necessary or desirable. I assume that the programmers on this list do communicate additionally in some other ways. The advantage of combining the user levels is obvious: Simple questions can be answered by simple users. On the other hand, trickier questions will find their way to the experts. As far as I know, Hans is interested in having a user interface accessible and understandable to non-experts. So he may very well be interested in watching the problems arising when those simple users actually try to use the system. Furthermore, I understand that time (for most of you/us) is not sufficient to follow even more discussions from sources like comp.text.tex. Most questions in the newsgroups will be answered by someone, and/or users will be directed to this list. Eckhart
