I hadn't heard of maemo until the weekend. So I'm a total n00b here, and frankly have no right to suggest anything. But... I suspect I'm representative of a whole pile of people who're going to fetch up here in the next few months.

While maemo was limited to the internet tablets the number of people here was relatively small, and mostly very dedicated and knowledgeable about it. But with the advent of n900, marketing and adverts are going to bring in a whole pile of people with little or no knowledge beyond "it's an operating system - you'll need to learn it" which is what someone said to me today.

And frankly, I don't blame those of you who've been working with this for a year or more, writing apps for it, coding it, living, eating and sleeping it feeling a tad .... irritated when someone like me shows up with a bunch of questions you've heard before.

So what I wondered was whether we could have a single pinned thread titled something like "New User or enquirer start here" where we could ask our stupid questions without feeling too stupid, and we could search for all the terribly simple questions that the rest of you answered ages ago. And you could feel that you'd answered once and for all and if we're stupid enough to start other threads, you can shout at us!

Because believe me, if this thing is as good as you and nokia say, you're going to be dealing with a LOT of ignorant n00bs like me
