I have seen and experienced myself that sometimes the users ask for
something "silly" because they don't know the "cfengine way", one way
to solve this is to have examples available for the users so they can
see the "cfengine way" of doing things.

I think that was the idea behind the "hint directory", but I think we
should make it dynamic so more people can contribute to it and make it
easy to show the "cfengine way" of doing things.

I think we should use a web site using a collaboration software
(e.g. Wiki, Faq-o-Matic, etc) which accepts input from outsiders that
way we will not only have the configuration examples, but comments
about them, and possibly improvements for the example.

Some time in the future this could become a large library that will
help new users start implementing cfengine successfully because we
will lower the learning curve.
