Well, the way I see it is:
debianplanet.org - some news, very little content (a little apt propaganda)
newbiedoc - random newbie blurbs, disorganized
debian.org - decent FAQ, install guide, lots of incomplete guides
debianhelp.org - like this list, but less participation
There wouldn't be a whole lot of original content on this site I was
thinking of. All the documentation is already out there; it's just so
scattered around and difficult to find unless you know where to look.
This site would hopefully organize it into something coherent and less
intimidating. Ideally, it would be of some interest to more
experienced users as well--maybe as a place to check first for a
question before looking elsewhere.
