Attracting users to Arch is not a stated goal, this has been repeated many times in various fora. Arch is only for a certain type of users, those who are willing and able to learn. I'm not knocking your effort, but a quick glance at those resources you've provided indicate that you're trying to make it very easy to get to using Arch, and I don't think that's beneficial for Arch or its community. There are other distributions for 'easy-to-use', Arch should not be that. Not because of any type of elitism, but because Arch's niche is about control and simplicity, and making it 'newbie-friendly' (whatever that means) would compromise that. Splitting the thread (sorry I use gmail, so it won't split for you guys on mutt or whatever) to reduce the 'corruption' of original thread, not that I think it'll make a difference though.
