Dan,
   I'm willing to help although being experienced at my level may not
be all that helpful. Who knows until I try, right? ;-)

   I'm sure I'd learn more by helping more.

   Personally I'd prefer the list not be split. It seems a shame that
this forum link gets added which then causes more traffic and that
traffic drives away our more experienced users. As an alternative,
decouple the forum and the list and get helpful folks to pay attention
to the forums. The original wine-users list is unchanged and the
forums succeed or fail on their own merits.

   Count me in if I can help out.

Cheers,
Mark
