Getting started with the Galaxy Editor.

So I was thinking about making content for our seemingly empty Starcraft 2 Galaxy Editor wiki section, but since I do not have the editor or the beta I suppose I'd just post my thoughts here in hopes that someone gets started.

My reason? I've seen a few videos out there on the Galaxy Editor about how it works and such but to me it just doesn't really cut it and I think having the information in plain text and image can be much more helpful. For starters you can put a lot more information this way and you can easily edit it just in case you missed something, need to make it a bit more clear or just add more information. Once the game comes out, a lot of people would like to try and work with the editor and most would come to these types of sites for help and information on the new editor.

What I had in mind was something like this: http://www.staredit.net/starcraft2/GalaxyEdit. Something simple, yet informative which can really be built up upon. Since we are just about one of the few dedicated map making sites around, it would be logical to build up this wiki and make full use of it. I really don't know about the current plans that the administration has with the wiki, or if any member can just edit it, but I believe it's a great way to really get started on being the premier Starcraft 2 map making site, just as we were and still are with Starcraft 1.

The sad and simple fact is... GE is just not simple
There is no way to explain it in a simple way. Because the program itself is very advanced.

Symmetry shouted: I did my first EUD thing today. Feels like me finding arsenal at age 8 again
haha for sure. in some ways it's even more exciting because you can play EUD maps on regular battle.net, don't need to convince someone to download your mod to play with you. what did you do?
