I had started a similar list a couple of years ago (or more).  Although I
had some 20-30 people on the list at the start, the mailing list saw no
more than perhaps five articles.  It might help to know how many people are
really willing to write anything for it (as opposed to just reading
quietly).  I don't quite understand why it never went very far, as getting
started in brewing can be quite frustrating if you get problems (like off-
tastes, which almost everybody does) - you need to ask advice.

How will potential homebrewers (other than those thinking of starting right
now) find us?

It's a good idea, though...hope it takes off.
