Default Re: New Manual??

I found both manuals to be vague, incomplete and utterly useless, most of the game wasn't included in either manual, most spots were (of course) mentioned in the paper manual, with an arrow pointing you to the Online one, but the Online one didn't bother to fill in the gaps any!

I would voulenteer to do this except Last time I voulenteered to make an FAQ/Guide I was left to my own devices, witch sucked! and then hell and my life met and had a romatic love affair, I witch 2 members of my family died and my personal life whent to Sh*t, so unless someone is going to give me a damn good reason to do this I ain't doing it, however I'll help.

So we need a few more people and an editor and we might actually get this show in the road! A person who knows HTML would help too so we could post it on the net for everyone to see

Heck, wrangle up about three or four other people willing to help out, and I'll do something I'll probably regret later: I'll head the project (I'm just not going to put any more than 8 hours a week into it, I want to have SOME time for other things). The HTML wouldn't be a problem, I am fairly good at it any anyone can learn the basics in about half an hour.

So, anyone else?

Whitehojo's excellent Excel spreadsheet work could be used as a basis for this. I'm assuming all that needs to be done is update the entries as per the latest patch and add links to more descriptive entries for each item, the backbone of the work is already done by whitehojo (credit where due) so it's not as if anyone has to start from scratch. Any thoughts on this?
