What are good forums or mailing lists for programmers new to Smalltalk?

I would like to start a Community Wiki on good resources for programmers new to Smalltalk. I'm especially looking for good forums and/or mailing lists for programmers that are new to Smalltalk. Please correct me if I'm wrong (this is a wiki after all), but what I've found so far seem to be geared toward current Smalltalk programmers than to "newbies":

seaside
GNU-smalltalk
Object-Mix

Alternately, is Stack Overflow a good source? I noticed that there are only 100 questions tagged "Smalltalk" on Stack Overflow, but over 3000 for Perl.

Most activity is on the squeak-dev and pharo mailing lists. They are developer lists for the squeak and pharo dialects, but are pretty open to newbies. Please don't hesitate to ask questions there. The seaside-dev list on the other hand is developer only. For Pier (the Seaside CMS) and Magrite (meta-description framework) look here. Squeak foundation also hosts a lot of more specific lists. If you're into software reengineering, take a look here

Also, there is the usenet group:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.smalltalk

There are actually a few more usenet groups, but this is the only remotely active one.

There is a beginners mailing list.

I am not a member of that list myself, but it seems to be alive and well run.

Asking on SO is also welcome, of course :)
