Let's hope we can keep it going and build on it

One thing bothering me is I don't see too many beginners getting involved. That's one of the main aims of the competition, anyone have any ideas to achieve that?

I have an hour or two before I hit the sack, I might write up a short beginner tutorial following on from the good works of mikec and fatalsaint.. hmm need ideas..
I think there need to be more guides that do not expect you to do some thinking on your own(trolltech guides can be hard). This is my first qt program I write, even my first c++ program and I have had some problems with guides that expect you to understand a bit but you don't. I think that a lot of the problem I have been struggling have been the enviroment and a lot of that have been fixed in the new SDK. Before that I had big problems with compiling etc so I never wrote more then 10 lines of code.
