Hi Mikel Yes, th iD editor is a good step in the right direction. But even given that this tool is well made and self explanatory there is still room for better introductory material. The main entry page [1] for example is not very appealing, little bit outdated and lacks pictures and video material. To me it would be worthwile to consider dedicating a (OSMF? GSoC?) project to this.
