Digests
I vote not to set up a digest or moderator until we see what
the reading/mail load for the list really is.  In my short
experience with Digests, I find that I rarely list out the
digest to keep (although I would be interested in being able
to keep copies of particular items on it) and I never reply
to points made in the digest (although sometimes I consider
it).  Maybe what I am really saying is that my mail system
doesn't have any mechanism for "undigesting" into components
and Reply commands need a specific message in order to work
meaningfully.  At the moment, I would prefer to deal with the
messages as they arrive.  We can decide in the future whether
the load of messages is too great to continue in that way.

In the meantime, I would like to vote for changing the name
of the list to something more appropriate to the general topic
of personal workstations.
