Much of this is covered in: http://dragaera.info/mailinglists/dragaera-list/rules.html http://dragaera.info/links/ I'd say that if you've got specific suggestions for what should be added (and relative newcomers may be more aware of what gotchas they ran into), Put it together in a relatively neat package so that DD-B doesn't have to do much work to incorporate it. In the meantime, put it up on a website ?perhaps the wiki? and give him a link to it as well. Casey
