I just thought of another suggestion.

From the Quick Start menu, clicking on the "Skills" link I am informed that characters often learn a second language in school. Language is a hypertext word, but clicking it takes you to a form to create an article about languages.

I think that it would be good for someone to get around to writing that article. At a minimum it seems that there should be a list of available languages to choose from, if in fact people are to be encouraged to pick two of them. I would be happy to start that process off if no one else wanted to do so, but I feel a bit awkward about defining part of a complex world that I've just started participating in.

I also think it would help the beginner if the skills section defined the scope of a skill, and maybe included a paragraph on what sort of things a person can do without having a skill. Can I ride a horse at all, or do I fall off immediately without the Horseman skill? Can I swim well enough to keep from drowning? Can I cook a passable meal?
