Notwithstanding I have a bit of skin in this section, the real fundamentals we're discussing here would soon get buried in the main forum sections (esp as they're read far more than 'touched'), and as stickies - they'd get skipped over by the people that really need to read them!
As you say - even here , I give some occasional irrelevant threads a bump out to the 'other' sections.
These aren't necessarily programming, project or other specific - but strategies and methods to get past the hurdles of learning - no small feat.
I would put my hand up to be an admin, but I don't take criticism well!
Another thought i had was that anyone could read the Introductory Tutorials, but in order to avoid thread clutter - perhaps new posts could be moderated to keep the body of each topic 'clean' (there I go... One man's 'clean' is another man's 'cesspit' !)
