I don’t have a short answer for this, but my feeling is that it’s about initial training as much about providing a buffer for people who are just curious and want to click around a bit. Anything that redirects TV audiences to such an initial buffer is likely a win. Optimally, people who contribute well are then guided to further projects — for example as part of validator feedback. > >> • Introduce a notification mechanism to inform contributors of emergent >> campaigns.

The existing HOT newsletter could be a low-effort means of starting something like this, e.g. by adding a paragraph on current initiatives to every email. (Tyler might likely appreciate if someone who’s plugged into community discourse could provide such paragraphs on short notice.) > >> • Try to connect newcomers to the existing community as soon as possible, >> and in a setting that is appropriate for absolute beginners.
