Beginner's Documentation Scarcity

Hi all,
I'm trying to get a beginners' training going. I e-mailed Adam about it. I know some about Fedora Linux but the previously titled "sketchy" documentation for beginning bug-zappers left me clueless, to be perfectly honest. Once I know enough, if people give the time to teach me, I'm perfectly willing and capable of revamping the beginners' documentation. Ideas or offerings are welcomed.
