One of the posters to this thread noted that even if a question has been posted 500 times the 501 questioner is entitled to an answer. I agree with this. However a lost opportunity occurs when the same people reanswer the question. Answering questions is itself edifying. Ask anyone who has taught and they will confirm this. If you are a user who has had, for example, a ppp install question that has been answered. You now know the answer. Why not answer it when it comes up again. This will reinforce the information in your brain and is a valid way to contribute to Debian. Sharing the burden will help keep Debian more open, more free, and more democratic.
I will note again that a more formal Debian training program for newbie and novice users might be a good idea. Most beginners need a some formal structure, even if it is an illusion, to help them learn. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
