the time for pgsql-starting@postgresql.org has come?

All, (boring mail ahead)

Writing here to get in contact with major people. Recently, with the new
Windows port, and a great massive reception of the new release, I've noticed
that too many threads are being sent to pgsql-admin regarding:

"How do I install"
"How do I backup"
"What is initdb"

etc.

The point is that I am wondering about the need of a new mailing list, to
isolate these cases, and give them a better support, before "upgrading" into
a list like the admin one.

A big distance between some threads and the ones that I mention already
exists, and I wonder about a few orphan threads, without any kind of reply,
because they are "silly" or the help was not properly requested.

pgsql-starting seems to be a good way to isolate this threads and get a
better idea of the common problems on getting started with postgresql.
Recording / analyzing these threads could lead after into a better
experience in the future, or the chance to understand who are these starters
(profiles,background,etc).

And I would kindly put some time there.

My 5 cents (more than 2 ;) )

Best regards,
