Personally I would consider you slightly closer to intermediate experience than outright beginner. Certainly you have a lot more experience than me But it's subjective ofcourse, it is hard to define but some folks will have very limited programming knowledge and making their first program.
At the moment there aren't too many beginners coming forward, and it's hard to judge their needs if they aren't making them clear. I did offer to try and get a series of small coding tutorials done, like simple PyQT forms and dialogs, simple read from and write to a database, accelerometer control but i didnt get any response to that. There are already excellent tutorials, it may be that it isnt needed. This competition in part followed from this quietness from potential new developers and to have something that newbs can work towards joining in with.
Hmm prices?
To be honest, the whole wishlist thing is a great idea but if a simple thread isnt good enough then it needs someone to come forward and devote some time into it. Volunteers are always welcome and much sought!
