I am quite an experienced and active contributor and often spend time looking at what especially new contributors in my country are doing as well as guiding them to the best of my ability. But recently I've been thinking that maybe there are ways in which I could improve the way I'm doing this. So, 1. - how do you welcome new contributors to our project and when do you do it? 2. - What are the most common mistakes you encounter with new contributors and how do you point them out? 3. - Do you correct mistakes or try to guide the new contributor to do it? Why? 4. - What are the most common questions posed by new contributors you have contacted and how do you answer them? 5. - What percentage (roughly) of new contributors you have tried to guide, do you see continue to contribute for at least a while?
