- Abstract
The Growth team is working on new tools that would help communities to welcome newcomers and grow:
- Newcomer tasks: a feed of task suggestions that help newcomers learn to edit. Newcomers have been making productive edits through this feed!
- Newcomer homepage: a special page that hosts the "newcomer tasks" and is a good place for a newcomer to get started.
- Help panel: a platform to provide resources to newcomers while they are editing.
All this requires existing community involvement (have some mentors, get maintenance templates ready) but it worth the case!
