I've spent the last few months working on a wiki for teaching new players in my squadron. There's still a lot to cover, but the general idea behind my squadron is that every time I wanted to learn something new in Elite, I had to go to a new source for that information. 85% of the time that information is buried in a forum or halfway into a 30-minute YouTube video.
I kept having to look up the same information over and over again, but would have to find where the source was every time. So instead I condensed it into the basics of what it takes to get a new player off the ground landing pad. That way they can stick mostly to my site and not have to bare with the search engine gods to find what they're looking for when people aren't around to answer questions.
I'm not going tor the "best" way of doing things here. Just the easiest for new players. I don't believe in min-maxing especially when teaching new players. They can learn their own ways to optimize if they want, but almost every tutorial out there is trying to show you how to do things in one exact way and don't always explain how they got there.
I'm curious what others think and if the direction I'm headed in is something others would enjoy. And feel free to use this as a resource if you find it helpful even if you're not interested in joining. I'm trying to add a new article at least a couple times a month. These take a ton of effort so if there's something I could be doing better, I'm curious what I should consider before continuing.
Also if anyone would be interested, I'd be open to considering new members. Just reach out to me privately and we can discuss if it would be a good fit.

I can't believe I even have to mention this, but no, nothing in this stack is AI. I wrote every sentence and did the formatting one line at a time in Markdown.
