Teacher's aides
Newtown guy - his offer is training people who need help getting accounts

3x wikipedia poeple + toby (toby says we could easily have 10-15 people)

Challenges
Limitations on new accounts? eg no new pages outside your user pages / sandbox until have edited for three days (ish)

SO - Frances to have a stock email that includes - please make an account ahead of time,

Questions
notability criteria - how to cover in workshops

do we have multiple workshops

is the workshop just on editing or do we bring in marking, or tackle it in say q&a session?

Extension ideas for workshops if everyone is au fait with basic editing - move in technical way, or further ex's on teaching (questions, ways can be used etc)
