It will likely be of help to anyone working on documentation, though more as
a long term outcome rather than an initial goal. No doubt a resource list of
documentation useful to those at that level will evolve naturally through
their own recommendations, which is an interesting way to find out what's
actually working for them. Its purpose, though, is for newbies themselves.
Questions will still be asked here! but some aspects of dealing with
problems can be discussed among equals on the newbies list. Let's see how it
pans out. We all know what those above need, but we haven't yet heard a
great deal directly from those with small enthusiastic voices, and more
importantly to me, they haven't either.
