Very good point.  Most Othernets that I've seen publish (usually 
weekly) an "infopack.zip" or similar.  It contains *GOOD* 
instructions on how to apply for a node number (including *WHO* to 
apply to!), a list of echos, a recent nodelist, and more.  Really 
very helpful in getting setup for a new network, regardless of 
previous/current Fido experience.
