I'm surprised you find c.l.py an "hostile" place with no "tolerance to
newbies", since it known for being one of the most friendly and helpful
newsgroups on the comp.* usenet hierarchy - FWIW, may I quote some lines
of a recent thread here ?

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. I have never used google groups
before
and am so impressed with how helpful you all are. It is also lovely
that
none of you mock my little knowledge of Python but just want to
improve it.

Also, please notice there's mailing-list for CS-newbies
(http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor), and quite a few web
forums, starting with http://python-forum.org, so I'm not sure a new one
is really that useful.

My 2 cents...

I bought the domain PythonAlley.com (and PerlAlley.com and
RubyAlley.com) not too long ago. I had the inspiration to make some
kind of community site thing, but never did get around to it.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what a wonderful use for
PythonAlley.com would be? I'd really like to do something with at
least the Python site, since I love Python. Not too sure about the
others -- maybe I'm make them wikis and open them up to the community.
Maybe I should just sell them.

Ideas?

Thanks,
Shawn

The Python community would benefit from a moderated web-forum along
the lines of
perlmonks.org.

The Python community online now seems to have two major segments, the
c.l.p newsgroup (here),
and a large selection of blogs. C.l.p is unmoderated and often
hostile. The bloggers
self-moderate reasonably well (to my observation), but the blogs,
individually and
in aggregate, look 'read-only' to newbies, in that questions are not
welcomed.

A moderated forum that gives recognition to the experienced and
tolerance to newbies would be a good thing.

You might consider this as hostility - but this forum _is_ very helpful
to newbies & generally NOT hostile.
