Hello, and thanks to anyone who would have the time to reply to this post.

I am an uni student. I have been playing wesnoth since I was a child, and I got back into it nowdays. So i thought to myself.. why not create a custom campaign, since I enjoy both creative tasks and coding. I just started...

Hey there folks,

Sometimes I don't pay much attention to wesnoth (e. g. due to reallife) and
then don't quite know what is going on. I can read the forum, which is fine,
but takes time and often does not yield a thorough picture either, as it is a bit
biased.

Would it be possible for wesnoth to,...

That would be interesting indeed.
I think the main issue is to find someone to do it.
