Heck I want to learn how to import maps from a map editor like this: http://www.hurricane-eye.webs.com/gmterraineditor.html

I think too this would be a good way to document the process of using the world editor, I just spent 10 minutes tinkering with it, and there is a lot to learn it seems. If we can setup examples of content throughout the newbie isle, and attach it to a wiki document it will help people understand how to use the world editor better.

Also a process for taking your own landscape and exporting it out into the world editor would be good as well, maybe create Non-Newbie isle that they can get to somehow thats completely custom created by some of the users/developers here and document the process on the wiki.

I think krystlih is right that "how to" is needed with information how to export landscape from 3D max (and other programs) into format accepted by WorldEditor.

a couple useful links from the opennel.org website:

Populate openshard is not making new landscape but add some things on the existing landscape.

Basically, it's adding more things inside the existing .primitive.

it would be great to see some more stuff in OpenShard over the time.
there will propably be no better place to test new content.
the idea by clouding the tools to some kind of web-groupware, is pretty cool.

some way to go tho ^^
