I also expressed interest in contributing to this manual a while ago.
Now's time I do something about it!

I'd be happy to contribute:

	1/ Demo game tutorials 
		
		a) 	I'd prefer to contribute a pinball-like game in order 
			to introduce working with the physics engine. In this tute I'd
			also cover the basics of score-keeping using properties, the 
			application of sound events and camera switching.

		b)  I'd also like to propose a tutorial for a basic
			walkthrough environment, including using Radiosity to light
			the world and events like opening doors. I think alot of people 
			would like to use Blender for this purpose and are less interested 
			in making games themselves.
		
	2/ Python Introduction

	3/ Sound effects

		(I also wrote a small script that allows the use of Blender
		drive sound events in third party sound software and would
		reference this at the base of the tutorial)

Cheers!

Julian Oliver
