That's what the new chapters 3-5 are for.

We have
- manual
- tricks and tips
- regressions tests
- LSR
- mailist archives
- (lilypond wiki)

The wiki appears to be stagnant, so we can basically cross it off.  But 
that still leaves five places that newbies should ideally look for help 
before sending emails to the mailing lists.  We need to reduce this 
number, not increase it!  I have some ideas for combining tricks, 
regressions, and LSR.  If we can do that (and I do mean "we", since the 
Example Janitor is a necessary part of this), then I'll consider adding 
docs for articles/ezines/blogs/whatever.
