Hi,
I think it would benefit the community if you create a few more sub forums where new users can post basic questions without doing the "normal" resarch first that is usually expected in the open source community.
xbmc is getting more and more a product for the masses and not everybody wants to learn linux/other technical stuff. And lete face it, the wiki is not always up to par.
I think we should do as ubuntu forum and create "beginners talk" sub forums. I also think we need to support basic linux stuff. There is a very high demend for this coming from xbmc live users. Many of them not interested in learning anything, just looking for "support".
Example:
linux beginners talks:
Why dont I see my windows parition in xbmclive?
How do I see my media files in live from my windows desktop?
How do I create dual boot?
xbmc beginners talk:
How do I get fullscreen?
what remote should I buy?
There are many people willing to answer these question but other people gets frustraded.
