Amen! How soon we forget the difficulty of starting out in a new field :-)

Right now we've got three main resources that help newbs learn Rails for
free: the rubyonrails mailing list (bulgeoning now, perhaps past it's
usefulness), http://railsforum.com (where 97% of the good answers are by
Ryan Bates), and RailsCasts (created by Ryan Bates).

There used to be Rails Weenie, which worked almost exactly in the
question/answer format you're describing, but it seems to have gone the way
of the wooly mammoth.

So I think you're on to something but we need to be careful not to just
create another resource.  We web developers tend to think that any problem
can be solved with a website :-)
