This I find very interesting. To some extent it reflects my first impressions 
with OSM mailing lists. I know many people who are too daunted to subscribe, I 
find that is a shame. If it wasn't for friends in the offline world who got me 
started on OSM, I would have been way too intimidated by the lists to just jump 
in. Why is this? What can we improve?
