Well, I'd suggest the following.  (Anything not mentioned stays as  
you wrote it.)

perl6-howto
     This is the "practice of" list.  Come here to ask "How do I...",  
"What
     does XYZ mean?", or "Why doesn't this work?"  Novices are  
especially
     welcome.

(Note:  I envision this list being much like beginners@[...].org, but  
I never liked that name because it seems like it would drive away  
those who have a question but do not consider themselves beginners.   
On the other hand, maybe it's more important to explicitly welcome  
novices.  I could go either way:  maybe the above list should be  
'perl6-beginners')
