We've now got a couple of long racial guides up - for the Gallente and Minmatar, specifically.
I would like to propose we complete the set and structure information so that it is more easily accessible to the average newbie.
Some of the shared elements ought to be put in their own general guide. Common to both of the existing guides are basic explanations of the fitting and skill systems. I suggest stripping these extras from the racial guides and putting them in a general guide.
Under my proposal, we would have five threads:
General Newbie Guide
Amarr Guide
Caldari Guide
Gallente Guide
Minmatar Guide
These threads would be linked together, so the newbie guide would link directly into each of the racial guides for those interested in going further with those races, and possibly also linked to other specialist guides such as those written by Fox Gaden.
I have begun work on the Amarr thread. I'm fairly experienced with Amarr suits, having mained them for a year or so, and I have a great deal of material already there. It is currently perhaps 70% done.
I have also started putting together the general newbie thread.
This leaves the Caldari thread. I -can- write this if nobody else steps up, but I think it would be more appropriate for someone of a more Caldari persuasion to do so.
I recommend including instructions on how to get involved in the major FW organisation channels for each faction as well. This way we can hopefully get more people actually involved in FW.
In the interests of putting together a united effort for the education of our newbies, I would also like to propose those interested in getting seriously involved in writing a comprehensive series of guides to DUST contact me. I have set up a gdocs project for collective work on these guides.
Discuss.

This was the intention.
Quote:Might also be useful to demonstrate skill paths instead of using wordy descriptions to illustrate hierarchies like this:
Dropsuit command 1
Dropsuit upgrades 1
- armor upgrades 1
- shield upgrades 1
- core upgrades 1
- - engineering 1
- - electronics 1
Weaponry 1
Yes.

For better discussion of these things I would like to set up a Skype group.
My Skype username is 'arkenai' or 'Arkena Wyrnspire' - either should find me. Send me a contact request (and tell me who you are in the request) and I'll put you in the group.

Amarrian one is in editing atm. It'd probably be posted by this weekend except I have to finish a research paper first.
