It looks, to me, that Victor is at a stage where he does not know what he is doing with the basic stuff - pointing him at good docs might be worth more than spoon-feeding.
just my 2bits
Sometimes, I even wonder why there is a list all. After all pretty much everything is documented.
To socialize with I guess....
just my 2cents.

A great reason for a popular list like this is if a person doesn't know what they are looking for, or they do but their searches are not producing other options, the list can provide those other helpful resources. I've done this, too. I either ask about what I know and see what options people give that even searching wouldn't have normally revealed, or openly ask what I don't fully know about and that can also lead to good answers - even if google and other search engines provide answers. Sometimes search engines just don't produce what someone is looking for - but people do, or can help.
Finally, it can be helpful to have a human response from a list to validate the usefulness of something found - is it good/legit, or problematic (old, malicious, whatever).
Just my experiences. Human communication is still key (like this list).
