in reply to a new Q&A category
Hell Yeah!
Being a newbie my self I think that would be a Totaly great idea.
Myself being in a situation of not knowing too much about the language
would offer a place to ask the (dumb) questions without fear of the
everpresnt downvote. I dig it.

As long as the questions are asked in a reasonable manner,
I would doubt you should fear downvoting if you ask your
questions in SoPW. And by not trying to segregate the
monastery, I think you would increase your odds of getting
good answers. | [reply] |

I think you should be able to post questions on SoPW..without
fear of being downvoted. Many newbie questions may
seem dumb or trival.. but who knows.. there are most likely others out
there that have had the same questions and may be afraid to
ask. We've all been newbies at one time or another. :) I think that most here would gladly be able to help
or explain - but before posting any question - try and
see if it's been posted or explained before using
Super Search or whatnot (i.e.
Google , PerlDoc.com, etc.). | [reply] |

ld2 has got a valid point here. An area for the total newbie where questions cannot get downvoted (or upvoted for that matter) would be a good idea. That way newbies can learn the obvious without 'learning it the hard way' ie losing *cough precious XP. We should ofcourse restrict posting in this area to level 1-3 or something, real monks should never be afraid to face the monastery with their questions :)
