Please talk with RevdKathy. This is her bailiwick. It's not that the community hasn't wanted to help newcomers in the ways you'd like, but it can be just too easy to not see those needs when you're in already. Please, please stick around, ask questions, and point out where there are missing bits that will help you, and others, understand how to get more involved. And don't be bashful about speaking up when someone has made an attempt to help, but missed in terms of level or detail. In my experience, if you politely tell someone here you didn't understand step 4 or have no idea what a "foobar" is, they'll happily explain further.
... don't worry, I'm much less bashful about that now, it is still hard to know when to pester for more detail and when it's more appropriate to really search for the information yourself ...

It's nice to know that more helpful explanations of the Maemo community are coming, hopefully that will help intergrate newbies into the community faster, which should help us feel less like we're in the way, and help ease the burden from the currently established community that's currently feeling the pressure of a serious population explosion ... I'd like to think my input is helping a little, but I guess we'll see ... Thanks!
