I think it's open to both, just as swift-users is today.  The topic name needs to
encourage beginner questions because otherwise the beginners won't know where
to go; experienced forum users presumably don't need that kind of direction.

Are you suggesting that these ought to be split into separate categories?  I don't think
I'd support that.
