I didn't say those can't evolve into the most productive reviewers
that Drupal has ever seen :D
...which of course strengthens the point that expecting a lot of knowledge
from the start is probably not such a nice idea as slowly educating new
users.
Actually I think by the time I got to Drupal I'd given up on Fantastico, but it was pretty close. But at the same time, it was Drupal that got me interested in doing things properly - and part of that was because it does encourage you to learn various things (both the software and the community) rather than hiding it all away.
