Seems like a bit of a mouthful, and I am a little concerned about yet another 
mailing list diluting the audience, but then the consensus at the meeting did 
seem to be that we need another one. I don't really have a better alternative 
name, FWIW.

I will say that if we are creating a new mailing list, we need to be *crystal 
clear* about where people should send questions or problems (and patches), 
particularly when they are doing so for the first time - given that this is 
already a problem with the current number of lists.
