somewhere near the temporal coordinates of 3/24/03 5:11 PM, the entity known
as Dylan Stewart transmitted the following from rxs015500_at_utdallas.edu:
> Perhaps some sort of mentoring system. When a new user signs up, a message
> is automaticaly sent to one of a few volunteers who help the new user with
> his initial questions. That way, newbies get a real person to help them.
This one is a pretty good idea.

> It might also be good to set up a set of lists for different topics
> (announcements, hardware, software issues, programming, new users, etc.).
> That way, people only recieve list messages in topics they want. By
> default, new users would be signed up for just the new users group, but they
> could change it. However, that would be more like a BBS than an E-mail
> list.
This might also be good, but would be up to the gurus of list software...
