Python docs disappointing - group effort to hire writers?

[Kee Nethery]

As someone trying to learn the language I want to say that the tone on  
this list towards people who are trying to learn Python  feels like it  
has become anti-newbies.

Learning a new language is difficult enough without seeing other  
newbies getting shamed for not knowing everything there is to know  
about Python before asking their questions.

For example, the guy who was looking for Python sample code for the  
Google Map API, calling him a troll was harsh. Suggesting he broach  
the question to Google was a reasonable answer. By the same token, his  
asking this list about the missing Python examples seems reasonable  
also. Seems to me that people on a Python list might have some  
background knowledge or even samples of the Google Python code that  
was no longer on the Google web site.

There seems to be a general consensus among the newbies that other  
languages have a user contributions resource tied to the main official  
docs to allow newbies to teach each other what they have learned. The  
desire is for python.org to have the same kind of support resource so  
that us newbies can self support each other.
