I agree that this would be a pretty overwhelming task considering the level of traffic, and further, Yahoo! Groups' search functionality leaves a lot to be desired. Though I do say so myself, a great resource would be this list's content as it is mirrored over at Google Groups: http://groups.google.com/group/Videoblogging The thoroughness and granularity of the search function there is impressive. I've used it several times to find URLs posted and other things.

Re: [videoblogging] stupid questions
Maybe instead of a separate group for newbies, just a FAQ (isn't that why it's called Frequently Asked Questions instead of Stupid Questions?) or some kind of organization of messages that answer questions. Today's stupid question is tomorrow's insight, no? Editing the archives is a great idea, but might be an awful lot of work considering the amount of traffic.

Re: [videoblogging] stupid questions
This discussion comes up periodically. You want a newbie group? Start one :) You want a more moderated group? Start one. Simple as that :) Jan -- "It isn't done alone.
