JR4 still the best. Why you abondoned this?!

Over the years, non-technical developers such as me have probably asked the same or similar questions over and over. Perhaps it would be possible to build a structured "support forum highlights" of "forum index" page targeted to the most naive users.... something in between a FAQ and the Documentation.
The other feature that could help is an index to sites that have successfully used JR for a representative range of purposes, with some kind of review (provided by the site developers, not by JR) on how this was achieved for each site. This could serve to promote those sites and help new users imagine what can be done, with more or less effort.
Another thought is that it would be great to have a JR Education Foundation that can accept donations and funnel funds to the training and certification of developers who in turn can help naive users to build sites with JR. Having a certification system would make it easier for people to spend what they can spend with more confidence.
Can we hope for a future developer-customer ecosystem in which there are:
JR Architects (high-end developers) who can command high prices for their work (for those who can afford them),
JR Builders who can do reliable, robust structural work, even if it lacks the artistry of the architect, and..
JR Carpenters who can deal with small jobs and basic site maintenance?
