I am very aware that this site is driven by a lot of smart OS and some hardware techies, but the N900 is going to usher in a lot of newbies that do not have the same level of "techness".

I suggest a sticky thread for newbies (N900 for Newbies) that has an FAQ and links for apps (I know they are repositories, but still..) and includes:

1. Any settings techies expect newbies will ask
2. FM radio receiver link (this will be asked a lot)
3. Things for newbies to avoid (perhaps first thing in list)
4. Techie addresses to send beer for appreciation for getting newbies out of trouble with N900.
5. Restore process for when newbies get in trouble
6. Game links and FAQ (Doom, Quake etc and emulators will be popular questions).

A key is to be nice to newbies, since you never know who they are or what they may be able to do to help in the future. Communities like this need newbies too..... don't you
