Beginners are inspired by the experts, to be certain. Gaining exposure to the potential that any tool or practice possesses is exciting and motivating. Getting started calls for different models though, and often, I find myself connecting beginners together and referring to their expertise often. If someone hasn’t used a wiki before, showing them how other beginners are making use of the tool is proving to be far more practical than directing them to what experienced users have done. This can be overwhelming at times, and in the end, beginners need only define a purpose and take some very small first steps. Other beginners who are willing to share their processes and the evolution of all that is produced are incredibly valuable.
