Collection of Guides - read before posting

This is based on a current ogame.org collection of FAQs which can be found here: http://board.ogame.org/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=582500 It is briefly how the final list of all guides will look like. I tried sorting them by order of emergance and grouping them a bit.

Every guide on the list is linked to a "development" thread. This is where you can post suggestions, improvements, questions, report typos, and add more sources. If the guide is already finished, there will be a link to the finished version in the development thread.

Free to work on it.
This label means that the development thread is already oepened, but the guide isn't written yet. If you wish to write it, post a reply in the deveopment thread or poke me, so I add the lable "Being written by xx" to the link. This will let others know the guide is already taken care of.

Being written by xx.
Means that someone's working on the guide. You may still add more sources or suggestions to the thread, but it's recommended to wait until the guide/FAQ is finished.

Once you finish the FAQ/guide, post it in the development thread. It will then stay there for a while so it gets some feedback. After that it will be moved to the finished guides section.

(Done.)
Means the guide is already finished, but may still change a bit.

Done.
Means that the topic has been fully covered and does not need many changes. If you wish to translate it, you are free to do it. I suggest to wait a bit with translations though, so we sort the forum a bit and get things going.

Those guides are also still free for suggestions, changes or improvements.

(Local)
Links that are different for every community and should already exist and are translated. They only need to be linked to the list from your local board.

Guides from other communities:
I am aware every community already has some guides. Please post all the links to them in the relevant development thread on the list so it can be used as a source or a finished version. If you have a guide that is not on the list yet, please post it in a reply to the collection of all FAQs so we add the guide.

If you feel more comfortable writing in your native language, feel free to. All finished versions + translations will be posted in the finished FAQs section.
