I would like to see that also translated in to tutorial videos, the more the merrier.
Events are nice and work as a charm, being in direct contact with the users and helping them understand how the site works and why it always useful but when they are done and don't get a repetition run people then to just move on.
Make introduction movies with these topics:
- How to ask a question?
- How to edit a question?
- When to upvote a question or an answer and why is it important to do so?
- How to remove a post?
- How to flag and which options to choose when doing so, when to use each of those?
- What is meta, how does it compare to the main site?
- etc (< means I cant bother to remember now but if I make an effort I can get some more topics)
I have seen Jorge Castro making 1 or 2 and posting them in G+, those are nice. We should make more and make them more visible on the site. A new bored user would definitely learn a lot from those if they are visible and 1 or 2 clicks away.
I can't say I have the best voice in the world (I sound as I look, caveman) but I r got skillz and can edit, convert, host the movies (lets pretend youtube and other options do not exist :)).
Other than that we could make a room for new users to hang out and ask questions about the site, with some attendance from a few of us we could hand out some help.
