Glad to see that there's openness to change with this.  I think most 
shell users are veterans,
so have long since gotten past the agonies of being a newbie. Mind, 
that's true with most of the
CLI stuff--most of it is hoary with age and horribly unfriendly. That's 
all the more  reason to
re-think stuff tho.  A more welcoming command line would help pull folks 
away from the GUI/slave
mentality and turn them into 'real' Linux users.  Anyway, other folks 
may have had an easier time
of it, but, as I said, my own first experiences with bash/zsh were 
sadistic.  What would have made
a huge difference is knowing what were/are the 'correct' sources of 
information--the 'official' manual,
the official web site, recommended reading, etc.
