Has anyone written documentation for their Grampsweb users that they are willing to share?

I’m thinking of general instructions for new users Grampsweb who have never used Gramps and will not be involved in any admin activities.

My thought it an entirely new user to grampsweb getting to the home page would have a “what now, response?”

If someone has written a “novice guide” it would be great to share it.

I haven’t invited any family members yet and am just trying to make sure they have a good user experience. What is the experience of people who have invited their less than tech savvy relatives to grampsweb?

Thanks for the initiative, but since Grampsk is a community project, I would **very much** appreciate if anyone who has written, or is going to write, documentation like that, **instead** submits it as a pull request to [GitHub - gramps-project/gramps-web-docs: Documentation for Gramps Web](https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps-web-docs) to improve [Introduction - Gramps Web](https://www.grampsweb.org/user-guide/), which I’m aware is very much incomplete.
