[Maypole] Absolute Beginners List?

A bit of history. Maypole came out of two projects that I was in the midst of
writing - one to put a front-end onto an SQL database, and one which needed
a nice way of going from a URL to a method on an object. I abstracted them out
and Maypole was the bit where they met in the middle. Then people like Jesse
started reading my blog and playing with it, and soon I had an open source
project to maintain. I'm not very good at doing that.

I debated whether or not to start two mailing lists, one for developers and
one for users, but at the time there were only three or four of us and we were
both developers and users, so I thought I could punt for the time being.

I think we've probably now got to the point where we can split development
from support, so I've created the maypole-dev list.
(http://lists.netthink.co.uk/listinfo/maypole-dev) Some of you may now be on
the wrong list. :)

> Since there isn't a book about Maypole yet 

My hope was that when the manual gets finished, it could be considered one.
I'm sorry I haven't had the time to finish it off yet.
