Yes, that's the kind of thing we need, I think. The one difficulty would
be my suggestion of categorization of commands. What newby would think
of looking at the "find" command to change permissions, for example?
(find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; )
Your user filters idea may be a good way around that. It also has the
benefit of each user being able to score commands based upon their own
expertise and needs. Do we need each user to log in, or can we do this
with cookies?
Great list.

Mind the gap.
