It helps instead of loads of users searching though old threads to find help they could go to a section just for "normal beginner" users, not the programmers or developers.

seeing as the Nokia 770/N800 manual isn't at all helpfull it would be an idea of telling users the basics ie: installing apps, what is the repository and how to use it.

I wouldn't call myself a noob seeing as I already have been using a Linux OS for some time now and a gadget geek :D but the Nokia website and even Maemo dont provide you with any proper guidance on performing such things as installation.

Its a good idea, but only if its a sticky moderated thread.. maybe comments could be posted, but someone would have to own the top thread and it would have all the information in it.. for example.. just today a great memao mapper maps repository link page was put up.. that could be its own sticky, or better still on the maemo mapper main comment sticky

some good info - but maybe too much hacking for some newcomers (especially ones not used to any kind of *nix system)

I find lots of useful stuff using Google - but it takes time...

for example, I just found this site http://mydigihound.com/?cat=3
scroll down to "n800 how-tos" to see some simple quick things for people just starting with the n800

Deja Vu. Now where has this idea been mentioned before?

Maybe it will fly this time.

Noobs deserve to be threatened. Hell, they deserve to be coated in Mrs. Butterworth's pancake syrup and dragged slowly across a Mexican fire ant mound. Repeatedly. After that they are "junior members" and deserved of the respect one would accord a flatulent monkey.
