in fact  on Koha User's list [this list]  there 
is a a mixì of both Usage and 'How do I Install Koha'
type questions that get pretty technical.

But I think that we NEED to teach to the 
librarian that install Koha is (now) a quite technical and complex question.
In fact, now, without a Win32 auto-install, Koha 
3.0 is not for librarian without Linux tecnical skills.
So, my opinion is to mantain only two main 
mailing lists,  Koha User's list and Koha Dev.
With also specific mailing list (transaltion, language specific, etc.)

Cheers
