I read the “Warning to newcomers” topic, so this is to say that I’m just starting and am NOT a spammer. At least I hope I’m not. 
Welcome to Synfig world
Welcome Mgiahl, I’m in the same position too. Just started learning the software this week, working my way through the wiki page here. Good luck to you - hope to see some animation and drawing from you too! 
Thanks for the warm welcome, guys! I’m still working through the wiki as well. I’ll try and get something up soon, though.
