I also do not understand many of the discussions on the list, but I
found the people on this list very friendly and helpful when I had
asked questions - sometimes very stupid questions.

If a newbie list can render the same kind of service as the
perl-beginners list It will be a very good thing, but then it will ask
a lot of the more experienced members of this list to answer all the
newbie questions on a separate list.

I would certainly subscribe to such a list.

I'm afraid I get to answer the "seniors" part...

Yes, of course.  I'd suggest a list on Yahoo or something similar that
takes care of archiving, indexing, etc.

You're welcome.

Sure (but don't spam :-)  We'd be happy to reference this list from the
caml.inria.fr / www.caml.org Web site.

I don't know whether this would be interesting for you. 
But I 'm here since a few days, I am not interested in revisions yet,  and 
I'm quite astonished when you say "Yes it's CLEARLY written look here and 
here and here".

Well, do you expect people to start with Ocaml which such a documentation?
Either my Google is broken or you're cheating or you took advantage of some 
school time or you're not newcomers in any way.

So, I ask to beginners here 
	would you subscribe to a Ocaml Beginners' mailing list?
and to the seniors 
	can we the beginners set up a list on our own?
	can we use the name "Ocaml"?
	could we advertise for our list in this mailing list?

Anything else?
