Hi everyone,
Wiki Loves Monuments will (hopefully/probably) attract a lot of new users to Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia Commons is a very nice project, but it can be very scary and hostile for new users. On the English Wikipedia they have a new project called the Teahouse (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse). This is a friendly place to (peer) support new users created because the English Wikipedia deals we the challenge as we do.
What do you guys think of setting up a similar place as the Teahouse at Commons for the months September and October to help welcome and keep our new community members? I made up the name "Château" because that sounds friendlier that "castle" and makes me think of a historic building. This is all open for discussion, but I'm especially interested if people like the concept and would be willing to help out on this.
