I don't think need a user mailing list right now, IMHO our community is too small to warrant separate lists. This list currently has 130 subscribers according to http://people.apache.org/~coar/mlists.html. The problem with separate user and dev lists is that it tends to create an "us and them" feeling which I don't like, unless traffic is really to high for a single list. We can always create a user list later, nothing says this has to happen at graduation time. -Bertrand
