I've had an idea.
Most of times, newbies' questions have been replied a ton of times. Wouldn't be a good idea to build a big, extensive and tutorialish FAQ gathering most common questions in Newbie help, and refering to it when someone asks?
I think it would be a good idea. I know that there are plenty of tutorials and documentation already written, but this would be kind of the definitive one. What I am suggesting is to open a thread where people suggest topics for the FAQ (for example, using the TIMER, to take a recent example), and then we organize ourselves to write the tutorials (mostly COPYing/PASTEing from this forum). When a topic is finished, it could be posted somewhere for people to correct/complain/add things about it. Once it is validated, it could be put on this site.
Tell me if you think it is a good idea.
