It could be done - the technical side isn't so difficult to manage, but the "cultural" side of that integration might be the bigger challenge.
The "cultural" is matter of education. First those that should give a help then those that ask for help. Right now the whole load of learning is on those that already have a lot learning on their head, new users.
Oldtimers should understand that landscape is changing. Majority of new users that install Linux today have no technical background and habit to read the manuals. RTFM today is not understood as reminder to read the manual, but as "go away".
Absolutely, I agree on all counts. I think, though, that that education needs to start before putting all of the users into the same room. That education comes (in part) by the project defining a universal community standard of behaviour and consistent application of that standard. At least a standard where those portions of the community overlap. I think the guiding principles spell out significant elements of that standard of behaviour, but it may need to be more explicitly defined.
