[Businessmtg] Beginners' Resource/Forum Refurb

[Jane Anon]

I believe someone participating in this meeting said it was very helpful. I
am always open to a Steering Committee rewrite and hope that members will
contribute their suggestions.

I beg to differ on the Newcomers Page. I get frequent emails saying how
informative the Newcomers page and Thanks for the links to podcasts.  I am
not saying that it cannot have more information/writing etc., I have never
received a complaint saying that it was hard to understand or complicated.

there, too much and confusingly presented from a beginner's point of view.
Overwhelming as I've heard many report.

Step Shares along with the tutorials and samples of sharings, etc., as
roughly outlined, I think we could come up with something that even a
stressed out and confused newcomer would be able to use to get up to
participation speed quickly - with content of regular interest to the
entire membership to boot.

something newcomers would want to read, which would present them with the
essential information simply, and still make all the detailed information
available to them, too.

Nothing ventured; nothing gained, Continuous Improvement, and all that...
