Newbies to tech writing in general, not to this list in particular.
People who are new to the field tend to have a bunch of the same
questions:

- I'm thinking about becoming a technical writer. How do I get started?
What education is required? Is a tech writing certificate necessary?
- What's the best software to use for printed manuals? What about for
online help?
- Is Word good for long documents? And what's with my numbering being
all messed up?!?
- What's a good style guide to use? How do you know when to use it and
when to ignore what it says?

There are many other common questions. These are just a few off the top
of my head. Could this be the start of the list that Milan suggested or
the FAQs as Guy asked?  :-)
