Here's my use case. About 25 Haskell programmers met at ICFP to discuss uses of Haskell in K-12 education (for non-US readers, that means before university). I'm also in touch with another half-dozen people who either have done, or are doing, something pre-university
with Haskell, but could not be at ICFP. The main result of our conversation was that we wanted a common place to discuss, report on our experiences, look for productive collaborations and common threads, etc. There are already a few project-specific places,
e.g. the codeworld-discuss mailing list for my own project, but we were explicitly looking for something general-purpose and universal. It would be great if this could be, say, "<a href="mailto:k12@haskell.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">k12@haskell.org</a>" or something like that.<u></u><u></u></p>

I'm pretty open in terms of how we'd administer the list. I'm willing to do the work of handling obvious spam bots and things like that. If there's a feeling we'd need something more than that, then let's have that discussion. We explicitly don't want a
strict topicality enforcement, though. For example, several people who attended the dinner at ICFP were also interested in functional programming for non-majors at the university level, or were using Elm and other Haskell-like languages - even a few people
from the Racket community. I'd hope to rely on the name of the mailing list to keep things a bit focused, but not really police it at all.<u></u><u></u></p>
