Have a look at: http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bookshelf
http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/BookshelfIn particular, the "Welcome to Wikipedia" booklet - it takes people gently through the basics of editing and has a handy quick reference guide. Obviously it's based on Wikipedia not Wikinews but shoul still be helpful!

Piggybacking on the Wikipedia workshops stuff,...
I've got an Australian university using Wikinews as a class assignment for final-year students.
I could really, really do with an incredibly concise editing guide. They're not showing a lot of 'clue' when it comes to markup, filling in templates, and so. But, they're doing a reasonable job contributing despite that.
Anyone point me at some documents I can get Prof. Blackall to tell them are 'required reading'?
