Dear fellow Wikimedians, At Meta:Communication Projects Group/Projects I have foreseen a small evaluation in the beginning of August for http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ziko/manualnsw , the manual for new and small Wikipedias. I would like you to read the chapters and tell me or mail to this list or put onto the talk page what you think about it, what should be different, what is missing etc. - and where we should move it to. Kind regards

One thing that I really like is your "creating a web" idea, that's a very nice way of looking at things. People say: "but I have no idea what to write about or where to start!" You're giving them a nice analogy with ideas.
One thing that you haven't done yet (but would be a good idea to do) is the list of help page: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ziko/The_Basic_Help_Pages. A recent thread on Foundation-l (the one I CC'ed you on) would be useful to see what others think are the necessary guidelines/help pages.
Anyone here willing to help compile a list of basic help pages or help Ziko otherwise?
("Meaning" in the thread must be "opinion"; a Dutchism, "mening")
Thank for the support, Casey. I have changed the title to "Basic Wikipedia and help pages" and will make a list of pages, but I am not certain how competent I am for writing them (e.g. because of the terminology). A note on the talk page will be a good idea, if someone wants to attack the challenge.
