More front pages for new Scalers might be good.  
More video bill board, newbie news every 15 minutes, might help.  
Newbie help links identified on some spare badge border space might help.  ...

In another thread, Chris Smith said "A recurring theme I observed this
year with people new to SCALE was that they weren't as aware of
SCALE's offerings as one might hope."

Should we make a "new to SCALE" guide on the website and link to it in
the registration emails?

Should we take 1-2 pages near the front of the printed program and put
the "new to SCALE" guide there?

Did anyone go to the SCALE 101 talk? [1] Was it useful? Should we have
held it on Friday, instead or ran a second session on Friday?
