Jeff,

Do you have a link to the documentation for how to do the creation
request, the criteria and supporting docs required for it to be
granted and what would be required to point new users at this new list
for the location to go for technical help from users of Fedora,
i.e. changing the wiki/website to point at the new list?

The way I read your response - you are stating that fedora-list is the
"everything and the kitchen sink" list, and I believe that is a bit
broad to point users at that need help or support.

Many thanks for your assistance.
