You have a point... but I still don't think we want to bring more trafic to -user. I agree to say our website is currently not newbie-friendly enough. It needs to be rethought with that in mind (and I will have many concrete proposals to make about that -- in a few weeks, when I get a life). Certainly, the FAQ needs to be rewritten; granted, a page like Francisco's wouldn't hurt. Still, what makes our users hang on, what makes our community strong and pleasant, is that we *do* welcome and help newcomers; not a single "where are teh buttonz" mail ever remains unanswered, and this is (IMNSHO) good. If I had a suggestion to make about the bug-list, that would be to have a dedicated space for newbies (a mailing-list, a forum, or both integrated together thanks to the use of Nabble2). For instance, I know that info-lilypond was originally meant to post announcements, but we could turn it into a general "want informations about lilypond? Post here." list. (And nabble could allow us to embed this list as a forum on our website, it merely requires one line of JavaScript.)
