Lack of a learning culture - The lack of standardized training and resources to guide new recruits on what to know in the various stages of the volunteer journey can be detrimental to contributing to the Wikis. This leaves a lot of new contributors to self-learn, rely on other self-taught colleagues, and most often what comes their way. Self-learning can be useful in providing knowledge at a large scale but only beneficial when it is structured and guided. Relying on other self-taught colleagues who may have also learned by grappling with what came their way or through another self-taught person who learned the wrong way or didn’t make sense of the information learned, can create a cycle of uneducated volunteers within the movement. This has caused many to never come across some policies until they land themselves in trouble or led them to misinterpret policies.
