One of the things I see few lists do is to define the purpose of the
list, along with at least some sense of the indicators of success or
failure in achieving that purpose.  If you're going to run a list it
seems reasonable that you should know why, and that you should then be
able to know whether or not you're accomplishing that purpose.
