I would also suggest in the "basics" of working with MorphOS.
I'm talking from a personal experience, when I first started playing with MorphOS, there were so many small things that I just didn't know how to do or the interface actually works. ( Obviously this is heavily inspired by Amiga OS )
That's why I wrote the
Getting Started - A Beginner's Guide to MorphOS article, but the question is how to get people to read any documentation :) I would think that it's in more visible place in the MorphOS Library (direct link from this forum and linked in the About MorphOS window in the actual OS) than some article in a certain issue of a fanzine... and articles are easier to update in wiki pages.
For example, I hate YouTube videos where people just go to present an OS without doing any preparation.. they always give worse impression of the OS than they could if they'd just read about the basics of it beforehand. But noo, they just go ahead blindly and expect things to work just like in a mainstream OS.. and don't find things that work differently, so the best things just get skipped and everything looks very limited. Wasted opportunies even if they think they are doing a favour for an OS.
