[Squeakland] Why not an "intermediary " list ?

The general-purpose Squeak developers list is the ideal place for "more
technical although not much" issues including the ones you enumerate.
I am afraid that the idea of extra lists/forums was rejected on the
Squeak-dev list for reasons very like the ones Kim gave you.

Well, I suggest you to dare. 
"newbies" questions are common in Squeak-dev list and appropriately
answered.
Squeakers of all levels populate the list and even newbies dare to answer
sometimes :).
I cannot change your sense of 'atmosphere' but, please, give Squeak-dev list
a try.

Regards.
