My 2 cents...

It really helps if there is a FAQ or Wiki type starter page.  It doesn't have 
to say everything.  It should have many links to other web pages.  The idea 
is some place that is reasonably high-quality where you can get started.

Sure, google will find stuff, but you have to know what to search for.  A 
FAQ/Wiki starting page tells you the terms you might want to search for.

For example, if you were a beginner time-nut, how would you know that you 
should search for TBolt or Thunerbolt and that if you searched for 
Thunderbolt you needed to add Trimble or you would get a lot of other junk?

A glossary can also be a wonderful resource.  Again, it can have links to 
other info, but a quick description tells you whether that is a term you are 
interested in and/or how it fits in.
