Encourage Peer to Peer User Support
I find the Jolla community very helpful and not antagonistic unlike the usual Linux crowd who often resent helping newbies and give unpleasant responses to naive questions. I would like to encourage this helpful community and self help somehow in a sort of peer to peer crowd environment. Would it be possible to formalise this slightly and encourage this self help a bit in the way that GiffGaff does its support? I am not asking for a complete copy of this or over commercialising it just a bit more organisation and encouragement of the self help community.
I voted becaus a) I share your feeling that this community is very 'unlike' and particularly helpful and b) there's always room for improvement; if there's anything we can to to make newbies feel more comfortable, we should do it.
It's just that I don't have any idea what it could be. People ask questions, others give answers, there's an incentive system ("karma"),... do you have any ideas?
