March, 25-31

Lessons learned

What worked well?

It was fruitful to translate system messages together, because one could discuss difficulties with partners. It was much better than to do it at home alone.

It was much easier to explain for newcomers and to check their work. It's much easier than to explain them online.

What didn't work?

Bad planning of days. Some of people couldn't come for a long period, so we needed to change the number of days

What would you do differently if you planned a similar project?

Sometimes we needed to divide experienced users and newcomers into different sections.
