This is a small website project intending to serve as a dictionary of tips for window manager users. The idea is that anyone can upload tips, edit and improve the information available so that newcomers to window managers find it easier to start their journey.
It is particularly difficult for newcomers to find guides, more so with good guides, when things go south the most usual response is to give up on window managers altogether. Having one place (ideally) that points to all the guides that one may need, as well as other sources of interest should facilitate the pain of using a search engine over and over.
The point is not to babysit newcomers, but to point them in the right direction. While experienced users don't need regular help, they will definitely enjoy having a collection of resources instead of having the usual search engine route. They could find particular pleasure in sharing their own guides and mishaps that newbies will want to avoid.
