It appears that we need a Frequently Asked Questions document to go
with our introduction of the Wine Fora to the mailing lists.
WineHQ already has a FAQ on the WineWiki at
http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ. I'd think that maintaining and refining
the FAQ there would be a much more productive activity. Really there
isn't much of a difference in pointing a user to a forum post or
pointing them to the Wiki. The Wiki, however, is much easier to
maintain.
Great. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
If we need anything "Stickied" to the top of the Forum it should be a
Topic called "READ FIRST" which contains a short list of posting
guidelines and contains a link to the WineWiki FAQ.
Not a lot of people reads the "READ FIRST" posts. That's why the most
important thing is:
Who can 'make this happen'? We also need a way that new users are
directed to the posting guidelines and the FAQ before posting.

From the phpBB point of view, I think it is much easier to show the
guidelines in the "Start a new topic" page than checking if the user is
a new one an redirect him in that case. I can "easily make this happen"
for the first option with some small coordination with the forum
installer. I can attach a screenshot of what I mean, but I am not shure
if attachments are possible in this list.
In the "Mailing list <-> forum gateway" thread I posted some ideas to
the basic posting guidelines and there were one or two very good ones
contributed by other people. I can have a look at them and pack
together if requested.
