I think this would be great if you can publicize it to those that are thinking of making the plunge. Back when I started, there were no user groups within a 250 mile radius that would present things like what you can use it for, what do you want to do and is this the right tool, etc.

Once those questions are answered, a user would have a better idea if this is the tool for their application and can then go into the next steps of learning the basics.

I would love to see more user groups in the upper midwest that are actually functioning. I would love to contribute to these now that I am somewhat comfortable with SQL Server.
