Does coming to t.m.o as it stands now accelerate the new user towards understanding/contributing to Maemo moreso than a more kid gloves approach?

I think we have to understand that until this moment, most of the people that would come here were interested in contributing or at least being a power user whereas the next wave might never have the desire to be anything but an end user.

What do we do about this?

Do we try to keep the end users away and keep this place more of a developer-centric forum by starting up a new place for them to go to? Do we try to integrate them into the community at the risk of losing the developers? Do we start a separate place specifically for developers?

What do we want?
