I've redone the page to trim it down a lot and remove a lot of duplicated tutorial material from other pages. Our emphasis should be on our IRC channel, in my opinion. What do others think? Talrias ( t | e | c) 16:06, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
Nice. Are there others ? We could find uses for a handful of great images like that. A little image for a user-page bootcamp icon when calling someone to come to bootcamp would rock. +sj +
The client is now up and running on the toolserver.
Most of the IRC commands have been disabled, the only commands still functional are /me, /nick and /msg, it autoconnects to freenode, and autojoins #wikipedia-bootcamp. If anyone have any suggestions to improvements, please let me know, and I'll see what I can do. Bjelleklang - talk 23:27, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
Where can I put my own opinion on Wikipedia?-- Daniel O 17:14, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Some people have mentioned they are uncomfortable with the name "boot camp" based on the connotations it brings. While I personally don't have a problem with the name, I understand why others do have a problem. Does anyone have any recommended names for what we are trying to accomplish here? Talrias ( t | e | c) 19:46, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
The picture is removed now, thanks! But just for future reference, you can see on the left right what I meant.
How about renaming the page also? I like Paul August's Wikipedia:Instant help. Oleg Alexandrov ( talk) 05:22, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
How about doing some cooperation, if not merging, with Wikipedia:Clueless newbies? They are more Wiki-based, and you more IRC based, but one could list there that either way is fine for asking for help. I mean, we have two projects with the same purpose. Oleg Alexandrov ( talk) 02:22, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi all. Some of us intersected at template:welcome, where it seems that the preferred decision is to not have the bootcamp link in that template, rather only the link to {{ helpme}}. I hope this does not leave any of you with hard feelings. Over there, we are getting suggestions with new cool things to include in {{ welcome}} rather often, the overall community input is very important, and also, one has to be rather conservative about what eventually makes it in.
Apart from that, I am very happy with this bootcamp project, one of the several designed to help newbies. The reason I am writing here is to remark of the very sensible suggestion by Commander Keane to make the link to the bootcamp more proeminent on Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, which is also a very visited page, and contains the several other ways newbies can get help.
Wonder if you can comment at Wikipedia talk:Where to ask a question. Again, that is also a much discussed page, and it would be unwise to just take Commander Keane's suggestion right away and put it in, but if there is enough support, the link there would be a nice advertisement to your project. Wonder what you think. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov ( talk) 22:05, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
When you put big or small in brackets the writing after that will come up ever big or small, is there anywhere on Wikipedia where you can read all of those different codes?-- Daniel O 17:13, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
It might be useful to consolidate some of the other newbie projects together, at least for the purposes of using Relatedchanges more effectively. Please add relevant projects to this list:

Anyone interested should take a look at this, and sign up if interested in helping restructuring the helpsystem. Bjelleklang - talk 17:54, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Well, based on the above, I have been bold, and put a merge tag on this project. Comments at Wikipedia talk:Clueless newbies. Oleg Alexandrov ( talk) 07:22, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Merge the clueless newbies into this article. The DI depicted reminds me of Boot Camp that members of my family had been in. Martial Law 09:51, 19 February 2006 (UTC) :)
In the discussion I linked to previously ( here) it was descided that it would dissolve. I guess really the people complaining about the name descided that it would dissolve (altough I guess renaming was an option, but one which never occured).-- Commander Keane 19:14, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
And yes, it probably will redirect (that's what I meant by dissolve). Just as soon as the header at Wikipedia:Newcomers help page is improved.-- Commander Keane 19:20, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
To Boot Camp help me out!
