Title: Reviving the Starter Guide [Work in progress]
Post by: eipi on August 13, 2012, 09:25:27 PM
It has been three years since the Starter Guide has been updated for the last time, so I think it needs an upgrade. Over the past two weekends I've been working on a new version typeset in LaTeX. This is what I've got so far:

Over the next few weeks I will try to add new chapters as well as some more screenshots.

Now I've got two questions:

Feedback is always welcome. :)

If you are writing in Latex, you should know the answers to your question: first content, then format, fonts, and license :)

Nice that somebody works on this again.

It would be a good idea to synchronize your work with the wiki. Ie make content available in both formats.

As an old contributor in this project, as far as I remember, the guides were under the same license as Simutrans (AL) but if you want to reboot the project, you can change it. About the layout, I think the current one is quite clean and clear. If you need help, just ask. ;)
