Title: Suggestion
Post by: Brandlingill on November 02, 2006, 10:16:21 AM
Hi.

This is only a suggestion, and please do feel free to say no if you think it's unnecessary. I was wondering whether or not the forum could have a section specifically for beginner questions? Someone has answered every question I have asked about Aurora so I know how helpful people are here, but I do feel reluctant to speak about Aurora basics in sections that mostly contain more advanced stuff. It may be that I'm not the only one, so a section where simple questions are expected may help?

It does seem like a good idea to me. Somewhere where other noobs can go, where they know there will be answers to questions similar to what they want to ask etc.

Very good idea in my opinion. Have to see what Paul says.

It is a good idea, but I read every post, even if I have no idea what people (usually Parker  ;) ) are talking about. Then, when I catch up with what is going on, I might remember the post well enough to look for it.

I wouldn't call it a 'beginners' section or a 'Noob' section but a 'Coding Questions' section. It sounds better and doesn't deter people with experience using it. ;)

Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced

How would you know whether your questions was "advanced" or not.  For you it might be advance but for me...


How about "Coding Help - Stuck on problem? Ask here"

I know what you mean Kale, but a section called 'Coding questions' isn't really what I had in mind. For instance, there is already a section for 'General Discussion' which could be used for anything - including beginners questions. Personally I would like the name to make clear that it will be used for beginners questions such 'Aurora Basics' or 'Aurora 101'. Of course, I am speaking as a beginner.

Coding Help would cover it best.
I know I would use it.

I made it a child of General Discussion just to try it out.
