Our website might be intimidating to new users. Would it make sense to have a getting started section on the website?

An advisory board member suggested that such a section could perhaps have:

  • videos (some of the intro ones that Sam is putting together?)
  • a few key screenshots
  • Notebooks (making clear that they are beginner)
  • And "maybe a quick note on what skills (basic and/or advanced) are required to use the service: it could help scholars who want to start a project and hire people who have the skills to help them (ex. what to look for, what to mention in a job offer when you want to hire a skilled student or professional to help out) + you could advertise here the datathons and other events you organize as great opportunities to send students to get trained!"

Could put it here? Thoughts? I think it is a good idea but am happy to talk further, as we also want to avoid cluttering our website too much...
