the general feedback I had is that the volume of messages on the
existing list may be too intimidating for newbies. Welcoming new users
and help them launch their OpenStack installations is a major objective
for the Essex cycle.

I understand the concerns voiced by you and others on the list and I
agree with you all. I also have little doubts that the volume of email
messages on this list is too high for new users. We want to have a place
where new users feel welcome, ask simple questions and find answers. We
don't want to create a new place where new users can be ignored.

What do you think would be better to solve this?
