newbies like myself wouldn't mind a place where we can ask stuff that would
normally trigger the RTFM response. 

Before you tell me to use the regular *BSD resources, consider that people may
start coming to Dfly without much, or any, experience of the BSDs. Not -via-
FreeBSD but directly from Linux, Windows, or in my case, the BeOS. Essentially
-new- users that are somewhere in between UNIX gods and the proverbial
grandmother.
I wouldn't mind a develop-for-UNIX dev talk style mailinglist either, but I
guess there are resources elsewhere.
A general ML/newsgroup would be logical in my opinion, always feel a bit 
uncomfortably when posting in kernel.
