@OrBit’s take is what we’re heading for in the long term, and will be made more viable by the frontend work that’s in progress.
We could still benefit from an external guide though, for reference material for the deeper details that @Zanharim is mentioning. The main problem with the existing guide and FAQ is that making any changes to either requires code changes, and there are far more pressing development priorities.
The good news is, we have The Wiki, which is a far more practical solution that can take player-contributions. The FAQ has even been ported over there, though it is in need of some cleanup.
The existing guide and FAQ will not receive any further updates and should be considered permanently dead. We need to focus on the wiki instead, so that players can actively help instead of having to ask and wait for staff.
Recruiting help for this isn’t a priority right now, which is why there’s no active request for contributors. However, since it’s coming up in this conversation I’ll make the request here: if anybody is interested in helping port our existing guide into wiki format, please let me know and I’ll set you up with an account.
There is no need for this to be dependent on code changes, but we need contributors.
