Have a look at:

<http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bookshelf>In 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'?
