What has the GDT been up to?

What?

• Tig started Testbed before he was in the GDT/PWA to help scripters learn to script
• #gscript has been maintaing their own wiki (or at least used to, not sure on the current status) for scripting
• There have been tries by people like Dusty to start guilds for developers (Developers Circle, etc) — also specialty guilds like #glevels, Scripter, etc
• Twinny and some other people have written scripting documentation in the past (tutorials)
• I (along with others) have been updating scripting documentation (albiet less than before, recently)
• I've had PMs from at least 5-6 people in the past month who have needed help on their server (on Era, one over the forums), and was able to help all of them without (Global Development Team) at the end of my name.

There are most certainly more examples, but I can't think of anything now. The best thing the team has brought is the IRC channel, and even that is rarely used by people needing help.


I hope the team is able to transform, because I really would like to see a group of players taking time to do the tasks I've mentioned before, but I don't see it happening right now. Hopefully something will happen when Bell gets back.

I am, however, glad to hear that some things are being worked on.
