* It is currently difficult for a new user to see a coherent way to get started - we have the [[FAQ]], the [[Read Me First]], the [[Getting Started]], and the [[Using Spring]] pages.  Some of the content is contradictory, some of it is outdated, and it is all too wordy.  A coherent "do this first" guide that gets the user started is needed, followed by an obvious path of learning further.

**I wouldn't bother maintaining the Main Page at all actually - the only reason I've not deprecated is because it's still linked to from the toolbox at the bottom, and when you login (I need to look into how the toolbox can be changed, and the login should give you a "return to page you were just on" really).

*The [[Games]] page still needs more images and better descriptions for games. A little bit of pruning there might be in order as well. --> started this, but lower sections still need doing. What would you prune? Expand and Exterminate ? [[User:Seanheron|Seanheron]] 09:23, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Here are some areas where the wiki needs help.

"games" vs "mods"

Spring = engine

the playable things = games (not mods)

partly cleaned up, imo only matters on pages that are to be read by players.

how to start playing

not clear, too many contradicting pages. A coherent "do this first" guide that gets the user started is needed. though maybe the problem is there is actually no clear answer for this.

map making

Several "complete mapmaking guides", none is 100% good. Should be split into sub pages about "compiling", "placing features" etc. The design part ("how to use photoshop") and spring specific part ("how to use mapconv") should be seperated

missing info on game dev stuff

pathfinder

AA/BA/TA guides/unit descriptions

those guides should imo be removed once they are copied to the BA homepage

clans

should imo be removed
