I just got off the phone with a wonderful woman who

who was asking me how she could participate in Kannada Wikipedia editing.
Obviously I can just direct her to the homepage of kn-wiki, but is there
somewhere she could go to get some coaching to begin? She's never edited
before, but is fluent in English too and wants to increase the educational
content.
The answer is above. I think communities must use front page much more
effectively. There are many communities which don't update front
page regularly, still keep it similar to English Wikipedia, wasting(IMO)
some space. Instead, they could redesign front page to allocate significant
space for attracting newbies.
