There's a usability issue here in the discussion of FAQs.

Makes sense that "newbies" be asked to contribute some special FAQs
for other newbies. "Old pros" can "look over the shoulder" and be sure
the facts are right.

But the newbie's own descriptions and labels (nomenclature) will
likely be more appropriate for the other newbies that have general
questions.

It is very difficult for "senior users" to anticipate the newebie
questions and remember how puzzling it all was for us.


Hell, I'm still puzzled a lot of the time.



My two cents.

a> Hello Jan,

a> <<As
a>   a relative newbie myself, I suggest the best way to begin is to
a>   play around with the program. Questions will defintely arise from
a>   your usage & reading other's questions/answers on this list.

a>   Then ask your own questions. The members of this list are
a>   *extremely* supportive. No question is considered stupid. You may
a>   be referred to a FAQ file or some other source but then the info
a>   will be in context & easier to digest.

a>   Welcome to The Bat! cave ;-)  >>

a>        I've been exploring some of the FAQ files and have noted that
a>        many presume at least a certain basic familiarity with the
a>        nomenclature. I'd do best to start with a glossary.

a>           ./michael
