On another topic, I did not end up working on the wiki conversion at all this weekend. My schedule for this week is in flux, so I can't at this point predict when I will be able to start on it, but I would like to get it done sooner rather than later.

It looks like I'm going to have to find a more permanent hosting solution for the file since file hosting services and Google Docs actually change the URL every time I update and re-upload the file.
Make a Google Sites page and put the Google Doc/PDF download link on that, then you can use the site link everywhere as that will not change (that is if you want to keep it all free).
EDIT = D'oh - already mentioned - should have read the entire thread before posting a reply to a post mid way...

For completely new users you might want to put the abbreviations up front though or link all of them, which is probably a lot of work.
Or else state in the beginning that they can be found in the appendices (if you did and I missed that, apologies).

Transferring to the Wiki is a great idea (I check the MWO Wiki frequently), but I'd like to throw in my 2c and request that it still be available as a .pdf if at all possible. I don't want to have to always be online to read it. Wikis have their place, but so do docs for 'offline' use

That's a different wiki for Battletech. This one is specific to MechWarrior: Online. I think a Founder's program section would be good to have in there too to explain what it is and which 'Mechs you get. A pretty common question is which model do you get when you choose either the Elite or Veteran package.

Thanks that wiki is better than the one I listed, but I still find the primer a good overview and the wiki a source for additional information. Also a good point on the Founders packages. I had to ask my WOT clan members a million questions about MWO to figure out what package I should get and what mech I would like the most.
The biggest problem I see with MWO right now is it's hard to find information about the game without doing a lot of digging. That's why I like this primer so much, most of the information a newbie needs is in it.
