I'd like to get more involved with the community....

But I'm not exactly sure what I could do.

I'm not the greatest of programmers, and I have school, so I couldn't do any full time projects
or anything of that type, but id like to do something to help out.

So yeah, I'm open to suggestions. :)

Oh, and I own TGE 1.4 and TGB...

You could work on editing documentation, creating new documentation for things like GUI's or art tools if that's your forte.

I think that's an excellent suggestion, David. I spend my spare time cruising the forums, looking for unanswered posts in an effort to help others with their problems.

I'm thinking about switching gears, and not jumping on the GG forums for a few weeks and just editing the hell out of TDN.

Maybe a community sponsored contest, similar to what GGE is doing, is in order. Person who submits the most amount of documentation on TDN gets some kind of prize....criteria would involve spelling, accuracy, bug free submissions, and ease of use/reading...

I guess I could do some kind of documentation or guide for TGB,
it would force me to write clean code :P

You could do documentation to find/explain the difference between map2dif, map2dif_plus, map2difexpress, and constructor difs :D

I think Ed Johnson is taking care of that in his new art guide/tutorial.
