That was indeed the plan: http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-users/2009-February/000969.html Even before this, there were many people asking questions on openembedded-users that either got bad, miss-leading or no answers because of a lack of experienced / knowledgeable people on that list. I don't think that the community around OE has grow/matured enough to make resurrecting that list a good idea.
