New editors: a guided, staged, self-training approach - LONG

Speaking as a Grandpasaurus, there are many great suggestions above. The last “edit” above hits home with me. Senax has been (and still is) my mentor. He has made numerous corrections for me and has taken the time to show me what I have done wrong or right.

Personally I would like to see a means to be able to practice submissions and editing without formally entering anything into Picard. It is a little daunting moving forward in my quest to be able to edit things such as relationships, etc… The detail I see in the work others have provided is indeed awe inspiring. I have yet to become comfortable adding to this detail for fear of screwing something up. I do not wish to add to the burden of established editors by entering things erroneously thereby adding to their work load in correcting my errors.

I look forward to the future of Picard!! Your work is well respected.
