3 Lists would be nice, but I think we're both to small for that, and it would add more confusion, and it would mean yet-another-mailing list for someone to subscribe to.

I propose we keep edubuntu-devel as it is, then add an
edubuntu-educators, using it as both a support list, and for curriculum
development and related discussions. So some educators need to read the
occasional sound card problem, I don't think it's that big of a problem.
When it does grow bigger, and we have, let's say, at least 5 support
questions a day, then we split to a -users group. Since most of our
anticipated users would be educators, and since a lot of our users are
also developers, it seems that most of our audience fall under either of
these two. I think the -devel/-educator split is the best at this stage,
and then we review in three months.

Am I making sense?
