I would come.  Such topics are only partially understood by me, but they 
gradually add up to better understanding, so I like to hear them.  I don't 
think we should drop the esoteric topics at all, but they need to be 
balanced with newbie-centric topics and application topics.  

Last night, for instance, I caught part of a comment about templating in 
OOo, though I don't know what the rest of the conversation was about.  
There are many such application-centric possibilities.  We spoke yesterday 
about people thinking that powerpoint was the only possibility for 
presentations.  Maybe we should do a "Creating your first presentation 
with OpenOffice"?

Gimp is brilliant, but scary to a first-time user.  What about compiling a 
list of common tasks in photo-processing and showing how they can be done 
in Gimp?
