Hi Joao,
  Well, why not just create a 'welcome to OSFlash' page off the main
page? Or 'OSFlash newbies' or whatever you want to call it. Put a very
large link to it on the main page in a prominent place - like right at
the top? "Start here!"

  One of my concerns about starting a seperate OSFlash newbie site is
that it might get sidelined/out of date; if it's actually rolled into
the main Wiki I think it's easier to maintain.
