And the idea wasn't mine - vass signed up today, and she said "I've subscribed to a metric tonne of communities, but the one community that I could really use is dw_n00bs, for people like me who aren't quite in the loop and don't know every detail of every bug yet - a community to ask "Is that meant to happen?" I thought that was a totally fantastic idea, so I suggested it in IRC and people leapt on it with cries of glee. So here we are! *g*

How very very tricky of them. Bah. :)

And yes, this comm is very needed. I put together my little proto-FAQ bundle because I saw people asking the same questions over and over again, and I couldn't think what else to do. This is a much better approach.

More fun by far! This kind of says everything I need to know about the DW philosophy. :)
