All,

Wouldn't it be beneficial to have a "New to IT-Start Here" link in the banner of our beloved IT.com? This would eliminate many of the same basic questions that we receive time and time again (not insulting anyone who is new, I asked the same questions when I started...this would be for your benefit). It could be as simple as a static page, content provided, organized, and put together by us.

Some simple thoughts:

-Definition of IT (please refrain from sarcastic comments, facts only)
-Basic set of rules
-Helpful links
-BUY A GCR
-Join the SCCA
.....stuff like that

Now, if someone would like to take the lead on this, I am sure others will chime in with material...I unfortunately do not have the time right now to lead it, but would be more than willing to pitch in with some material.

I believe that this will help those wishing to start in IT, and maybe increase our numbers...SOMETIMES (I KNOW this is rare) when newbies ask questions, we MAY go a LITTLE off topic into our little side-conversations. Having a factual-only page that answers the generic stuff would help out tremendously.

Thoughts? Volunteers?

Regards,
Alan
