Could we add an "Absolute Beginner Section" to the forum?

We have an Advanced User section, and I have seen beginner sections in other forums. I think everyone, not just newcomers to Linux, could learn something.....

Thanks!

(If you want to wait until the new iso is released, that's ok too.)

+1

Is the idea kaput?

[uncleV]

Ideas never caput! (moving in the opposite direction)

  I support the idea, of a new section for beginners,practical experience from experienced people
is invaluable.if we want PCLOS to be tops we must try to accomodate everybody.

ok, if the agreement of having the beginners corner has been reached, i propose, for one, to put all the stickies in, since the way things are done, each part of the forums first 2 pages will get full of stickies soon (good and bad thing/marker).

what you all think of that?

[Ramchu]

Well getting back to the origin of this :

I vote : +++++1 
for the Absolute Beginner Section  ( God Knows that I Need it )

[Joble]

I thought I was in the beginner section.

I thought I was in the beginner section.   

Except for the Advanced section, the whole forum is supposed to be the beginners section. Evidently some folks want to begin before the beginning.

I agree with O-P on this. The entire forum is a "beginners" section. There are no stupid questions that go unattended to. The dumber the question, the more I can help.  

EDIT: Maybe what would make new users feel comfy would be

"A beginner's section to find out where your question should be posted even though it will get moved to the proper place, like it or not anyway"

A forum for beginners with a beginners' section with a sticky topic for beginners containing instructions for beginners. Hmm...... naw! It'd never work. Who reads instructions?
 

[uncleV]

No you can open a locked Beginner section with a one sticky there saying "Just begin!".

and where would folks report the bugs and usage problems for the rst to dwell upon (this forum deals only with pclos as found in the stable repos), so its not exactly and only for the beginners alone, right?

it seems as if the sandbox is growing bigger, must be the global warm/ning thing

[uncleV]

and where would folks report the bugs...

They are reported anywhere here, even in Sandbox.
Or you have another seeing?

[parnote]

Sorry for being off-topic here ...

But am I the only one finding things confusing with "V" and "uncleV" popping up all over the place? Before you know it, we'll have SpawnOfV.
