new members are required to perform 3 quests
A successful communal workshop depends on a small amount of effort continually put in, such as tidying. When when a new member joins, this is the ideal time to communicate what that involves, and also for the candidate to learn how the space works. Better that they learn by doing than by telling. So have them complete a few simple quests - such as "find a tool that is out of place and put it away" (this requires them to identify a misplaced tool, and learn about where that sort of tool goes)
or "sort something that needs sorting" (such as screws or drill bits, where you need something that is a particular size, and it's much easier to find if it's organized)

Yeah I like this idea, saw it in action at one of the open evenings and definitely recommend this for new members so they realise the importance of cleaning and organising properly before using the space. Maybe we could have a refresher session of this with existing members now and then to ensure that everyone stays on track :)

damn, I thought I was creating a proposal, but it seems that I only created a discussion thread.

Yes, but I can never think of quests - lets write up some goto ones on the wall somewhere

can someone add a reminder about these quests when a new member joins the supporters channel?

I like it! We should try it and if we still like it then make sure that everyone actually knows that this is the process. Maybe it's enough to update the How-To-Join Poster and mention it on the website (which has a github to do changes btw) Jan mentioned that it would be great to have a more fluid way of documenting how hackland actually works (wiki?) but that is a different topic to this
