Thank you Felix,
it's a great suggestion.
The programme for the event is not done yet so it's important to get all
the feedbacks now;
I agree with you that a beginner walkthrough would be important,
especially for GLAM partners (that could be thus interested in
participating).

I am very excited for this conference and happy
that we listen a lot to
the request of others who show concern.
I remember making this suggestion at the WMCON 15 and am glad to finally
see it coming to life. I however wish to say that upon reading the
conference page on Meta, I added a new line to the curriculum for the
beginners section for the program.
I added Beginners Walkthrough. This is particularly important to me and
i
believe that was the main reason behind my suggestion or perhaps part of
the reason for this conference. I thought it will be a perfect
opportunity
to train interested individuals who have no or little help finding their
way around Wikisource.
I have tried several times to contribute to Wikisource but have no idea
where to start from. So i have resorted to proofreading texts. I think
often than not this is the situation people face, and will appreciate a
beginners walkthrough at its very basic level.
Regards,
Felix
