First time I heard the esp8266 was about a week days ago and just a few minutes later i was registering to this community forum. Long story short : this place is the first place most people will find themselves in the search for esp8266
Since then i've been wandering around the forum and trying to find myself a path. There are great users from novice to pros and there are tons of information available. But sadly, you need to find the first step and the next ones by yourself.
As developers this is not an exception... We face this problem so often, but since there is a community that'll certainly grow rapidly, it's better to start creating some indexes for newcomers.
As i can see there is not enough offical English documentation on the web for these modules or chips. I saw some sdk's and versions on the site. I saw some uploading and compiling tools on the web also and when i clicked their links i found myself in your github
Is it possible for admin or other members to create some topics for the newcomers? Like :
esp8266 - sdk v. changelogs /
esp8266 - identify your board - pinouts (for most common versions)
esp8266 - firmware archive (versions of offical firmwares)
esp8266 - firmware upload tutorials (Windows - Linux - Mac)
gonna be playing with my new toys tomorrow. I hope i'll be useful around here
It was a long post, i know Thanks for your precious time and support
IMPORTANT note : I can't express how silly I feel Just after posting this i saw the link to the wiki.. Which holds the answers for my most questions.. For people who was in a rush like me and couldn't see it, the link is :

Many thanks..
