another way is to fulfill the FAQ page with questions and answers 
from the forum so newbies could first read the page before 
thinking and asking what others thought and asked before))) but 
then the FAQ page must reside as a link in the header, e.g. 
between "Learn" and "Documentation" and forum must state: "first 
look at FAQ then ask question" like the way on StackOverflow.com
