I think that the greeter could step the neophyte through some basic
things, like finding stuff on the web site, what is expected on
downloading and uploading, maybe even a practice of doing such. Then
introduce the neophyte to a number of the 'tools' and practice using the
tools on a sample or so.
This is what I envision.
Then, I think that an advanced member, a writer, should take a neophyte
and ask that person to review the work of said writer, guide the
neo-reviewer through what is expected. Also, maybe two neo-reviewers
could hook up and swap lies about reviewing. After, working with the
neo-reviewer, the writer should pass the responsibility onto another
writer, this may round out the experiences for the neo-reviewer.
The daunting things to me were finding the thing to review, next finding
out the writer was very experienced, then trying to figure not only what
to do but how to do it. I didnot change too much but ended up asking
question (Notes or comments I forget) on why was such and such done,
should not this be consistent with another place etc. I think that what
I did was helpful.
I am sure they were helpful.
The visions of what the mentoring should be is what I also envisioned
when this topic was first mentioned.
Now, to figure out how to implement it.
Have a good one,
