Hi :) I think wiki-editing is a little beyond many here but at least it's less of a leap! I think a few people have had some practice at it by working on the Faq; https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq
So people who are new to wiki-editing can be fairly confident of getting help&advice or hints&tips from a few more of us here - and of course we can probably point people to external documentation to help further. From what i hear the people who are working on the translators version of the inbuilt help are doing a fantastic job and it would be great if that could be supported a bit. Alex had some great points earlier in the thread and i agree that his talents are probably most needed in QA and development. I think he did a great job in kick-starting documentation about Base with his work on the Faq section about Base. I think that if we can give new people suggestions about where they start then they can either follow the suggestions or not, either way is good. At the moment we tend to stand around and wait for them to figure it out, which is not so good imo. If we could push them towards the wiki so that they get practice and experience with wiki-editing then they will be ideally placed to either; 1. work on the in-built guide or 2. move to the Published Guides after the logins have been sorted out for them. I think it would really help to give them something so that they can "hit the ground running" rather than just keep them standing around waiting. Sorry if that is a bit harsh! I think everyone here is doing a fantastic job and that we just have to find ways to make the most of that - preferably without anyone needing to do any more than they already do!
