: You could hold online help sessions for people having trouble and post when they'll be and where

I'm not trying to make QA service. I mean to have more of a hands-on type thing (see other message) where they get to help with an easier deathmatch or something. Whether or not the editing group produces a lot of good levels or not isn't the point. just like when learning something new (take woodworking, for example). You can learn to do it by getting the tools and a bunch of books, ect and messing around until you manage to make something stay together for more than ten seconds. But if someone who already is good at it helps you build something, you learn much better. That's the same idea here, let those who want to learn build a level, with assistance from more experienced staff. Almost like being "apprenticed" to an editing group. You help out on a project, and in exchange for your work, you are "taught the trade".
