Thanks for the detailed feedback and suggestions striplar. There are people working on beginners' guides and resources, it's been a busy year for the Foundation and volunteers alike but things are happening in this area.

I think that the table on http://elinux.org/Rpi_Low-level_peripherals is poorly laid out and misleading. I think that the 2 board versions should be separate and the pins should be in numerical order or absolute physical layout ([either 1..26] or [1..25 odd on the left and 2..26 even on the right])...

Re: "Beginners" put off...

The Magazine is a great taster, but the instructions and links are hopelessly out of date. Wouldn't it be more helpful if updated magazine issues were post edited and re-released to correct the errors? It's only natural that people will pore over these and expect to be able to get things running. T...

Thanks poglad :). You're right, the price point is - and always has been - of utmost importance. I think (and I do not speak for the Foundation!) that the "why" of this will become even more evident when the model A comes out and also when the Raspberry Pi moves out of the "developmen...

Re: URL Links Not Opening In New Window/Tab

The W3C recommendation is that you don't open links in new tabs or windows, largely for accessibilty reasons. (You may wish to do so occasionally, but it should not be the default behaviour.) Accessibility aside, opening in new tabs / windows forces browser behaviour on the user and removes control ...
