So are you making a list that will discuss anthropology or Emacs? Are mathematics students who would like to discuss Emacs banned from the list because mathematics are not humanities? Sorry, I am a bit carricaturing here, but as a layman I don't get the purpose from your description :-).

I suggest just the Emacs-for-non-programmers list or something similar; if you think another channel is needed (I have no opinion about that one).
