That's excellent advice ST!  Just making the newbies feel comfortable from the start about their lack of experience is a HUGE step in the right direction.  If you don't know about something, ask.  If you can help but don't know how to, ask.   Then it just becomes the responsibility of everyone else to inform, teach, demonstrate, etc. without negativity.  Inclusion from the get-go will go a long way!

Now if only I had known all that as a teen...
