I think we need to put all efforts to help newbies. More users is better for the platform.
The FAQ section is great but its oudated. I have several suggestions:
Just put a link to the wiki in the faq post
OR
Check all the links, remove brokens and add news.
I offer myself to do any of those tasks.
By the way, I’ve detected a problem with the forums, and it’s that the messages do not allow break spaces, what affects to the readability of the posts.
The reference guide can give a short description for the function available for eg: virtual bool ccTouchBegan (CCTouch * pTouch,CCEvent * pEvent) and a small source sample if possible.
In forums it is better to have different sub categories like newbies,AI,porting…, etc…
