Ryzom Ring Training and Global Chat

[netzz]

I'm a noob trying to learn to use the Ring editor, and I had a few questions.

1. Is there a possibility that other "DMs" will be able to "join" you in the editor? (It would be great if I could work with a more experienced DM, and learn from them)

2. Is there any type of "Global DM Chat" possibility? It gets very lonely working in the Ring for an extended period of time. I'd even be happy to find something like Klients for DM's (or an IRC channel/TeamSpeak server)?

It would be nice to be able to ask others questions, while we are editing/learning.

3. Does anyone have any suggestions on a "training cycle"? I read the manual twice, and have made several scenarios/act. I feel like I'm learning things backwards though, by accident.

Are there any suggestions on a "checklist" of activities you can cycle through when learning the RIng, which would make more sense to a "learner"? e.g. setting up a basic mission using NPC and a Task Step Component. Then adding a "Treasure Chest Spawn", Retrieve Item, etc.

Any suggestions, anyone?

Thankz
