Where does a newbie go to get an orientation on the LEGO community as a
whole? Also, where does a seasoned veteran go for a one-stop LEGO

this isn’t trivial stuff, but I think its a goal that can and should be

We should form a commitee and make a web site.

The only other hobby I spend any significant amount of time on is Classic cars.
The web-organisation of which is utterly woeful despite it being a very popular
hobby. There are hundreds and hundreds of sites but no high quality central
place from which to find them. International links are pretty well
non-existant.
Does anyone have an example of one that is better than us?
