Should I?

Hey guys! I was considering creating a tutorial using basic assets from the level editor for beginning mappers.

Before I actually do that though, I would love to know if anyone even thinks I'm qualified to post a tutorial considering I've been here for all of.... 6 months now and relatively quiet. I would also like to know if you think the tutorial series would be useful or substantial.

I understand there aren't that many new mappers and most (probably all) of this stuff is covered in other lovely tutorials on the wiki, but I'm still interested in actually making this.

The aforementioned tutorial would cover the following:
  • Interface of the Level Editor
    - Also scattered throughout the rest of the tutorial for reinforcement.

  • Building a Basic (Bed)room - sample map included
    - Planes
    - Static Objects
    - Door Entities
    - Start Areas

  • Furnishing/Decorating the Room
    - Static Objects
    - Entities

  • Lighting the Room Up
    - Basic Lighting Using a BoxLight (Including Changing Light Colour)
    - Simple Lighting Tricks, SpotLights and PointLights
    - Billboards
    - Stylistic Lighting, Mood Lighting
    - Realistic and Semi-Realistic Lighting
    - Colour Palettes

  • Using Areas
    - Script Areas (Basics - I'm no skilled scripter)
    - Creating Water
    - Ladder Areas
    - Start Areas

  • Using Particle Systems and Decals
    - How, When and Why

  • Useful Links, Tutorials, and Websites
    - Engine Scripts
    - Rule of Thirds
    - Colour Theory
    - Level Design
    - Other Tutorials Such as Chaser's Rope Tutorial Big Grin

I know it's a huge amount of stuff to cover, but I wish I had been able to find all of this information in one concise area when I was starting (I actually downloaded the level editor in early 2011, didn't figure out how to use it or feel confident enough to show off anything until this year).
