Yup. Sometimes the best teaching method is non-interference.
PL1:
Different people have different learning styles.
Reading project announcements is a great way for people who are hands-on type learners to see how things fit together.
The FAQ and wiki are better for book type learners.
A good FAQ and wiki can give noobs a foundation of basic knowledge before they dig into the various builds.
Not having that type of foundation available encourages even more of them to ask ignorant questions.
Part of the reason I answer the questions is that it allows me to learn the subject better.
If you really want to learn something, try teaching it. ;D
At some point, it makes sense to consolidate and distill the knowledge we've learned into a more organized format and give it back to the community for everyone's benefit. :cheers:

Agreed. I also find this to be true when I'm writing software documentation. While I'm writing I somehow think of edge cases I did not think of when I was writing the software. Writing proper docs has always either helped me better understand what I'm writing about, or discover things because I'm looking at it from a different angle.
I imagine teaching would be the very same.

This is a major reason I hang out here. I have the opportunity to explore myself and fine tune it. I'm picky about where I do this, though. Here is the public place I spend the most time - a few hours every couple/few days - doing it.
@PL1: I think he meant Hoops meant brain stroke, yo. But, whether strokin yo'self, or somebody else, if yer not doin it some ways, mm.......
