- We need to talk about how to expand the planet (which nurtures the news you see in the frontpage). - We started discussing about Announcements that should not only be posted by Nokia employees about developer related stuff. - The Intro can be radically changed as soon as maemo.nokia.com and Forum Nokia cover the description of the Maemo platform and its main features. And more, I agree. Keeping a Newbie forum doesn't solve the problems you are detecting, really. Quote:

BTW, individual thread views drop dramatically each time a thread is moved. Therefore the longer a thread stays in one place, the more views it receives. The statement I started in this thread with Quote:
Could an announcement or "Read this" sticky be placed in the old "Newbie" forum at least. I just answered a question in there for a new user... No one likes to feel they are wasting their time. :) |

Re: "Newbie" forum?
Here's a suggestion that will undoubtedly be rejected immediately, but I will make it anyway. Actually, two suggestions:
1) How about amnesty for all users? There wouldn't be need for a Newbie area if people with supposedly dumb questions or who hadn't searched enough weren't treated with contempt. (My unofficial observation is that most users criticized for not searching protest that they DID search -- and I believe they did, just ineffectively.) 2) How about an area colorfully named "free-fire zone"? This would be an area for short easy questions. The thing is, it would be announced at the top of the area that ALL q's and their answers would be deleted after a couple of days. The purpose of the free-fire zone would be to allow people to post their dumb questions with the understanding that they wouldn't be taken overly seriously -- just answer the damn question. It would be a fun experiment, even if it didn't work. It would be a longer lasting version of a chat session. People could keep an eye on the free-fire zone and items that deserved to be permanent would be moved to the wiki or someplace. |
