<div id="">I just got off the phone with a wonderful woman who works for EDC India who was asking me how she could participate in Kannada Wikipedia editing. Obviously I can just direct her to the homepage of kn-wiki, but is there somewhere she could go to get some coaching to begin? She's never edited before, but is fluent in English too and wants to increase the educational content.</div>
<div></div></blockquote></div><br>The answer is above. I think communities must use front page much more effectively. There are many communities which don't update front page regularly, still keep it similar to English Wikipedia, wasting(IMO) some space. Instead, they could redesign front page to allocate significant space for attracting newbies.<br clear="all">
