I've been thinking of ways to somehow improve the design community here and improve/accelerate the learning and help for new and old designers. As of right now, they are simply still thoughts in my head and a few emails across the net.
In complete honesty, doing these type of services are nearly pointless unless some feedback and help come back. It's like beta testing a scenario for hours and then the scenario never goes to public, and designer disappears. So I'm asking all designers and potential designers to help out here, and give me a good gauge for future services/ideas.
A recent designer suggested we make a FAQ, so here we go. We need questions first, lots of them. I don't want answers to them, simply questions right now. I don't care how hard or easy they may seem, even impossible questions are good since someone shall ask them again one day. Don't even bother looking at the current list and what others posted, just post any designer/downloads/beta testing/etc questions you can think of. I'll update this post regularly with the new Qs. I'll fiqure out which ones were already posted and what not. I'll start us off:
