Good idea, tribro.
Yeah, NEWBIES, Fill out your profile!!
Then queries about training, gear, races, etc. can actually be meaningful.

ooo nasy PoC. Be nice. :-P I agree Tribro. It will help with questions. Many common questions have been answered over the years, so check the search engine out.

There are no excuses - so don't look for them. As a product of your own choices, you directly determine your life outcomes.
Don't think, just do.

Tribro - another idea along the same lines that might be interesting on this point:
Create a "Getting Started With Triathlons" header at the top. On that page, you can have a section on getting started with training (ie, what's a race plan look like, what are the resources, what's a RPE as opposed to a HRM"); getting started with gear ("What's an aerobar"); Getting started with Nutrition ("When should I eat?" "What's an electrolyte" "How many gels should I throw in my shorts?") etc etc
You could provide links to forum searches to the various answers to all the usual questions etc.
I used to be very active on the Snowboard Carving forums and the Getting Started with Carving pages were always great - especially since posters created the content for the page, and the topics along with the relevant debates were laid out for beginners to read and understand.
Just an idea to consider.

"Felt or Cervelo?" "Best Fluid Trainer?"

I definitely would be aligned with instructions as advised over here

Oh, and if you're a lurker, Just Tri It, we don't bite ;) the more input and pool of knowledge/experiences the better this resource will be... o.k. so maybe not so brief, sorry :D
