A topic near and dear to me. About a week ago I sent a note to the publisher suggesting we have a section called "commonly asked questions for newbies" or something like that. Especially focusing on topics that seem to appear every few months like: "what thickness should my table top be?" or "brand soldering iron should I buy?" or "what's the difference between O and 027 track?", and the like. Each could then have a simple answer without lengthy discussions about the type of roadbed on top of plywood or soldering wire to a piece of track versus soldering sheet brass. At the end it would then refer the user to the Forum's search function or to Google on their computer. I would also suggest for electrical questions which by the nature of today's trains can be complicated they should simply say "See Forum's Search Function". I was told that such a thing could make the Forum less than user friendly to newbies. So much for that idea.
