The report was good while it lasted. If we don't have a report,
then many people will subscribe to both the -beginner list and the
-user list (and maybe even the -devel list). That reduces the
effectiveness of multiple mailing lists.
If somebody (not necessarily you) were willing to monitor multiple
mailing lists and write a newsletter about them every two weeks or
so, then I think that inventing a -beginner list is a great idea.
If not, then I don't think that -beginner would work so well.
