This sounds like a very good idea! This could also be a reference
document for even those who have been on the net longer. (Who actually
remembers what the startup colours mean off the top of their head?)

This should be a collective net effort.

Other suggestions might be including the email addresses of amiga
luminhcr on the net (if they are willing), which might be helpful 
when asking for source, help or sending in shareware donations, etc.

I'm willing to collect mail and organize it into a posting, if no one
else feels up to it. If you have something you think should be in this,
send me mail at {utai,utzoo,utcsri,lsuc,ncrcan}!hcr!edwin

I just picked up the posting about the most common novice Amiga
programmer mistakes, which I think would be suitable for the
introductory posting.
