     If you can visit scorn, you should be able to visit the other maps too,
check the logfiles and look if there are any error messages.

     Sometimes people create new maps. Often they are mailed to the
crossfire-devel mailinglist, or they just run on 1 server. After the
maps are tested for game balance impact, they will almost always be
placed into CVS. Just CVS update and you will get the latest.

     There are some hints on the official site, but a good document doesnt
exist. A lot of admins have their own solutions for common admin
practices... that should really be standarized. Any creation is such a
document will be appreciated, would you like to start with it?

Main crossfire realtime discussion does happen on IRC,
ircserver: irc.openprojects.net channel: #crossfire
