So how would you go about doing this?

As I see it, it's mainly a question of state of mind, that helps and noticing where/how/why newcomers may block. Some people seemingly cannot do that (technical people are famously untalented at this, but imo this is a myth: others are as bad ;-), a minority do it spontaneously. Your doc about templates obviously is motivated by this attitude (or I am very wrong). In any case, just trying at best to simply answer a set of questions like the one posted in a previous message has good chances to do the job, don't you think? at least to be very helpful, I guess... Others difficulties is not to be too low-level (readers are not idiots), the trap of using a school-like tone, etc. I will try to contribute when I find a motivating topic, and have time for that. (It is very time-consuming.)
