It all depends on where you try to divide people.

We've broken it up as "-beginners" (any question is fair game)
and "-dev" (probably fewer beginner questions).

Are you saying it'd be better to break it up as:

-beginners => minute 0 to writing my own classes
-users => writing my own classes to just short of hacking core classes
-dev => hacking core classes, perhaps for inclusion in next release

?
