To distinguish a project:
- care about newcomers
- accept their laziness/confusion, point them to the relevant resource
- hopefully they remember this in future.
- and act the same against new newcomers.
A few answers can keep a newcomer within the project.
Increased userbase.

My suggestions are very fair, even within the context of open source, which has become high competitive.
Every involved parties (Team, Contributors, Users) should be interested to increase the user-base of OJB.
Questions like "Recommended ObjectCache for ODMG" should be served immediately with a link, even if this question was raised several times.
So, creating an FAQ, where every (even non experienced) community member can point the 'lazy' newcomers to the relevant subsection, should be a major goal.

I've started another task within this project: creating a quick-start and a new main-page (which will most possibly increase the newcomer-adoption rate).
It's up to the existing community, to treat newcomers in a way that they stay with OJB.
Newcomers, which have invested time to come in contact with the product (and the community).
It is not very gentle, to let requests unanswered [at least the simple ones].

Of course.
As stated before, I'm contributing already my part.
