Ok, this is getting tedious guys. How about the following course of action: 1. Start "beginners@haskell.org" now. There seems to be more-or-less a consensus on this name. 2. Take all further discussion about the list's charter, etc. to the new list. 3. If decision is made to rename the list, kill "beginners@haskell.org", create the new list and repeat with step 1.

In that case, how about the following, more detailed charter:

This part is good. Friendly and inviting - nothing scary here.
serving the needs of non-computer-science students of Haskell wishing to focus on Haskell as a language for learning programming as part of a well-rounded liberal arts education"
.. but I don't quite understand the rationale for this. Why the restrictions? It seems strange to me to have a list named "beginners", but disallow e.g. comp.sci. students or people learning Haskell as a non-first language.
But perhaps I misunderstood the intended purpose?
