Crear sub-grupo "Loomio Community ▶ Beginners - Demonstration"
Objectives:
1) facilitate the incorporation of new users Loomio.
2) dispose of a meeting point to practice during the initial use of Loomio.
3) obtain the minimum knowledge, to intervene in discussions, make proposals and create their own groups.
4) exchange, consultations and opinions in their own language.
5) channel the feedback, which helps improve and optimize Loomio.
To avoid translations in the sub-group "Beginners - Demonstration" initiate discussions by language (same sub-group "Translation")
Remember and keep in mind:
a) The lack of experience of the coordinator of the group can generate an inefficient and misuse of Loomio
b) Frustration can be a source of disappointment and failure of new user
Sequence of that suggestion
1- Create a (public) subgroup of the group "Loomio Community", called "Beginner - Demonstration"
2- In the description, include the suggestion to visit the Explore page, to learn how they work, some existing groups.
3- Create the discussions in the languages of users who need it, but Loomio know which are the most used.
4- Link to the official website and help documentation
5- When you activate the new user account Loomio, default access to "control panel" sub-group "Beginners - Demonstration"
6- Assign and identify users who act in specialized collaborators in each language
7- The collaborators are users that help beginners

Take into account
The sub-group "Beginners" is public and visible without user account
The first time the new user activates your account, to proceed directly to the control panel of the sub-group "beginner" and if possible to the discussion of default language of the user

Sorry I got in here too late and the proposal has already closed.
I think it is important that we make the 'new user experience' much more instructive. In the next two weeks we are going to be looking closely at the new user experience for the two main cases (starting a group + joining a group), as we build this flow in the new interface.
I'll report progress back in here. I'm not really sure about the idea of a new subgroup - it might be brilliant, or it might be more confusing. I don't really know what the answer is though as I haven't had a good look at it yet.

@richarddbartlett Taking into account your comment:
In the next two weeks .......... esta flow in the new interface.
I make the following comment:
Persons are aware of loomio, in three different ways:
a) receiving an invitation from a member of a group
b) by diffusion of those who use, in Spain myself, with the information of the political party "Podemos"
c) internet browsing, stumbles upon the official website or with a group of public work
In all cases is not taken knowledge about the functioning of loomio
In the first moment is not fundamental be transformed into a expert in groups. Need to be expert in discussions and then expert in creating proposals

@richarddbartlett I answer your questions
1a) Sub-group as a meeting place for beginners to learn and consultations, in their own language.
1b) Loomio chooses and appoints coordinators and assistants between the experienced users who are offered to help beginners in their own language
2) The picture shows the “Try out” button and a few months ago, there was also another “Try out” button to the left of the button: “Log In”
Button “beginner” to replace the “Try out” buttons
I hope I have clarified the questions
