A
recent thread pointed out an issue that has been around since the start of the forum...
...when a newcomer joins the club, he usually asks some very basic questions. Most newcomers ask the same questions.
These questions, although very important to the newbie, are ones that the old-timers have seen, over and over... and answered.... over and over. Hence, the frequent "...do a search" answer.... which usually doesn't help the newcomer very much.
As a solution, I'd like to muster the troops and ask for volunteers for a project...
I propose we create a new section on the site that would contain an FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions).
Here's what it would take...
Pass 1... we all post what we think are the most common questions that have been asked in the last few years by newcomers.
Pass 2... we pick the Top, say, 20 questions from those that are suggested.
Pass 3... we assign each question to a volunteer, who will use common knowledge and go thru the archives to create a page of information on that question.
It can consist of actual answers, links to threads that have discussed it satisfactorily, or external links that help provide more info.
Pass 4... we add the new section to Club Cobra.
Cal Metal and I have discussed this and, if we get it done before the good weather, we think it's a do-able project, with all the talent we have here.
Pass Zero... what are your thoughts on this? Any other suggestions that could make this a valuable resource?
If the response is positive... the next post will be a call for proposed Questions.
