Well, the problem is that by putting everything out on your own website, it's more of a trek to get there from the Wiki, which should basically be the first point for any Plan 9 questions. When one person controls the site, there's a bottleneck making it more difficult for other people to share their newbie resources; if instead Purple_Q creates a "Newbie Resources" page on the wiki, everybody can link in their own stuff as well. I definitely like the idea of having more resources for new users, and if Purple_Q is willing to put in the time, that's excellent.
