About that more easy FAQ/q&a

Sure, lets do it. Also I felt like putting this in a separate forum thread since it seemed more reasonable.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O1sOzI_eajt2gWvSgKf3iCUJdQoZPFwxRFAM1RBe884/edit?usp=sharing

The deal right now is:
- If you want editorial permission, go on my profile and friend my discord account. Through that, you will send me your emails (because putting them here out in the public seems stupid)
- I'll wake up in the morning and either when I wake up or once I arrive home after school, I will friend and grant permissions. That should be some time between 3PM-5PM EST. As well, I will create a groupchat/server (depending on how much ppl participate) which everyone will be in (unless disinterest is expressed). (edit: If discord is not compatible for a significant amount of ppl, uhhhhhh I'll figure it out I guess. DM me on osu if it's not. If you need to friend me, let me know in replies so I know to friend you.)
- Once permission is granted, the current phase is just put down as many questions as possible. Even redundant ones like "I can't play LN" vs "how to play LN", it can be organized later. Go no further than that. The groupchat/server is where we can agree on the next phases.
- The format of writing is currently in, well, question-and-answer format. Lmk if that should be changed to be more generalized, like "getting better at LN" (though I'm afraid of the textbook-like nature of it).

Another edit: I'll give it another day ig. Would be funny but sad if I had to do everything alone.

Yet another edit: I guess I'm solo on this. Neat... - I'll occasionally add questions then, and either reply here or make yet another new thread if it ever gets completed. In the meantime, offer is still up, but you can also just reply here any question you want to see on there.
Extension to this edit: Only bad part about this is that I kinda needed help on non-4K questions, osu!lazer questions regarding mania, and some physical setup questions.

I don't think multiple people are needed for editing a document.

all information could be done alone through research or asking specific individuals that you suspect to have knowledge over a topic.

yeah if anyone were to get an FAQ going, this is really about it. I don't understand where the group get together idea comes from. Maybe simply asking questions is fine? to research later based off the questions?

i think a yt video would work best, theres not too many for mania from what ive seen and they cover specific things sometimes so smth that covers everything briefly for beginner in yt video would work better. pretty sure someone said this before but people will still ask basic questions regardless if another guide is added

i should prob make a shitty video with all the fire advice i have

Yea, someone did say that - It was me.
My gripe with a YT video is that it's not really a format which you compile a lot of information, just some information with a focused topic. Plus I'm not the type of person who talks into a mic very well. A compilation of videos would work though.
I'm mainly doing this since I looked at the previous thread and said "sure why not? Nothing wrong with it". Writing is the best for me rn.

I don't think so either. But it would have been easier, so it was worth a shot trying to recruit people.
And yes, I definitely could ask individuals for their opinions, it was just in my head that if this worked as planned, they'd be in the same place to then write their common consensuses (concensi?). I was kinda just hoping for a place where multiple ppl at once can agree or disagree with what is written instead of multiple individuals, basically.

If you're going with videos, I'd suggest showing examples on said topics. If you're just retelling information with no show, you'd basically be doing nothing more than just writing.

Honestly all I see from this is, "I could use help in verifying information."
Whenever you feel like you have all your questions down, I wouldn't mind writing descriptions for them in the "next phase" if you need it.

dms are always open.
