So this forum is only for Pharo newcomers who have questions? Seems rather limiting.
When I join other language forums, I look for information about the language I'm investigating as a newcomer. This can include the language's capabilities, limitations, real-world usage, new tools, philosophical basis, and so on. General information across a broad spectrum of topics. And, yes, even trivia and factoids that I might find interesting. I appreciate that you don't find this interesting, but other forum visitors may. If the Pharo users forum wants to, it could do something as draconian as StackOverflow does: put a tight leash on submitted questions and boot out everybody who doesn't comply. This is one reason I don't go to StackOverflow very often — they aren't welcoming to people who just want to learn general things. I've told my readers that the Pharo users forum is welcoming. Please don't make a liar out of me.
