The begin-site.org domain was registered to encourage a network of web-sites for linking, hosting or mirroring resources of various technologies and field of endeavour.
The Vim Beginners’ Site - about the Vim text editor.
The C and C++ Beginners Wiki (on Wikia.com). Also see the Freenode’s ##c channel Wiki, which is more comprehensive, but under a non-specified licence.
Become a Programmer, Motherfucker - list of online resources for beginning programmers.
We would welcome new sites into our network. If you have such a site, or are interested in setting one up, then contact Shlomi Fish and he will be able to add your site to the list, and provide some other *.begin-site.org services. Note that your site should conform to the guiding philosophy of our network.
The original text and media in the beginners sites should be licensed under free and open source/artwork licences such as the Creative Commons Attribution licence (CC-by) or the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported licence. On the other hand they may mirror or link to resources under different licences, as long as their licensing terms allows that, or they acquired permission from the author to do so.
The sources for the sites (scripts, templates, etc.) should be versioned in a public-facing and open-source version control repository.
The sites should have some amount of central control and organisation to maintain their high quality. Otherwise, the choice of a content-management system does not matter too much.
It should be easy to find resources in the beginner sites.
The sites should each have a consistent look and feel, a comprehensive navigation menu, and other navigational aids.
Please make sure the markup is as standards-compliant, as portable and as clean as possible.
