Reuven,
I'm part to blame for the confusion between using "newbie" and "non-techie". To clarify, for my usage, "newbie" refers to anyone who is a non-techie, including those graphics designers who want to create content for an OpenACS system. Newbie does not necessarily (but can) refer to someone who has little internet experience.
I also mentioned how a "newbie" (new-person to OpenACS) with appropriate developer expertise (or OpenACS admin related expertise) could start directly in the technically advanced forums.
Graphics designers who also have interests in UI may want to participate in an admin forum as well as (or instead of) the "newbie" forum.
The choice is individual, but the options need to be there for everyone to get the more effective use of the OpenACS community --the the OpenACS community the most affective use of them.
