Developers of Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

OK, I also prefer "newcomers". This designates people new to the 
project, but not necessarily new developers or even new to Sympa.

Soji, I feel that "newbie" is more or less the same as newcomer, so I 
would favour newcomer for it being a little bit more formal.

If nobody complains, I suggest we adopt this term by the end of the - 
European - day. I think Soji must not be far from going to dinner, am I 
wrong?

Cheers!

David
