Back to the topic I think that an IRC channel is the _most_ appropriate thing for newbies, because 'live' help is better than any article or blog or tutorial, because it is possible to actually ask questions rather than try to figure out what the person writhing the article/tutorial was trying to say :). I thing that there should be one major IRC channel for all distributions but it is important to make it well known for the public (like badvista.org is on the first page of googling "vista").
Newbies will feel comfortable to know that whatever problem they have someone could help them solve it, rather than trying to search with google and find misleading / old / wrong information. It will be quite annoying to answer the same dumb questions over and over again but I thing that after time we can make a FAQ based on the asked questions and keep this FAQ as brief as possible, coz no newbie will search in a FAQ longer than one screen :) Iskren _______________________________________________ Advocate mailing list [email protected] http://badvista.fsf.org/mailman/listinfo/advocate
