I've been mulling this over for a while, and have decided to put together a central location for community-written tutorials. Read through suggested topics to write on and the submission guidelines, then hold forth on your area of expertise! What you build today will be a guiding light for generations of newbies who join long after you have gone!

I can write something. Possibly.

I have a few glossary entries, as well as a short article on camera angles. I'll type them up tomorrow for you.

Ummm... Ooops... ~.~

Yeah, I'll type it up today...

Heh, I've been writing articles left and right myself, and glossary entries. Pyro's entry is now present in the Navigation subheading. Any glossary terms that you are the first to use in a tutorial will be credited to you.

Basic Maneuvering Tutorial added to Basics section. Various related glossary terms added.

Holy hell, this is a great idea! I'd love to contribute...

See a subject on the list you'd like to write about? Think of something I've missed that you want in it? Go ahead and write it, but read the submission guidelines first!

All right, I just submitted a "Commerce Mission Guide" and some glossary terms. Let me know what you think.

p.s. the "M" under the glossary page links to the "A" definitions. I think that's a mistake.

Phaserlight: Fixxored. Will appear in this evening's update.

site design suggestion (if you want to hear of them at all...):
when browsing the glossary, it would be nice to have the letters present at all times, so that you can jump to any given letter at a whim.
Sep 16, 2004 ctishman link
Absolutely! I'm pretty sure I could work that in somehow.

Academy Update:

-Supply and Demand 101 added - Thanks Angus!
-Missions Guide added - Thanks Phaserlight!
-A whole mess of glossary entries, too.

Needed:
-More articles! Contribute and be remembered! See each section's main page for what's needed, or if you just have a good idea, put it forth!
-Server space with support for a dynamic site
-Someone willing to create a turnkey dynamic portion of the academy, handling things such as article fetching and wiki-style interlinking, dynamic popups and automatic article submissions. Even if you can only do some of that, I want to hear from you!
