Great post indeed! I've made the same mistakes myself...
We Wikimedians tend to assume that EVERYONE shares our enthusiasm and
passion for CONTRIBUTING to (not plain "using") Wikipedia and
participating in wiki-communities, when that is simply not the case.
Have a look at the "Wikipedia Quick Start Guide" that I put together
for a European workshop for educators in Prague two years ago. It was
the product of "brainstorming" how to get my audience involved "on
the spot" (I only had 45 minutes). Perhaps someone might find it
useful...

I wanted to draw your attention in particular to this
excellent
post from
Sophie Österberg from Wikimedia Sverige -- she's put together a
very frank list of mistakes she's made and what she has learned
from them. I highly encourage everyone to read the post and add
your own learnings, either through commenting on the blog post or
through discussion on this list. I think it would be great if we
got better as a community of bravely sharing not only what goes
well, but what doesn't, so that we can all learn from each others'
experiences and not make the same mistakes!
Thanks, Sophie, for the great post:
