It's an interesting topic for newbies and I know that it took some time to figure things out. There is no place with all the information and we tend to learn about it slowly over time here on hive. I think that is one of the downsides of Hive right now.
I agree that we need a place where newbies can find easy answers to their questions... On the other side, it is not that bad that we are learning things by taking smaller steps... I remember my first days on the chain when I wanted to know it ALL, but it was just impossible to grasp so much information... It's better to "doze ourselves" and learn step by step...
Also, the problem is that there are not RULES on HIVE, but technical stuff could be listed somewhere...
