Ladies and gentlemen, The Engineering Division of Signal Cartel has a beta to test and we need the help of Signaleers like you!

This is our brand new Chrome Extension, known as NEWB, is designed to help new EVE players understand the heavy jargon they see while reading webpages (like our own forums) and learning to play EVE online. It can look up one term (or acronym) at a time if you want (highlight the term and right click), or decipher a whole page at once (right click on page and choose translate).

NEWB Example

It works on any website you visit.

If you still don’t yet get what this is, A Dead Parrot introduced the concept in greater detail a couple weeks ago in this forum thread: Volunteer in the Name of Helping New Members.

As of today, the New Eden Word Bank (NEWB) was approved for publication by the Chrome Store, but A Dead Parrot has not published it for public consumption until we refine this tool as a group.

You can view and install the extension from here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/new-eden-word-bank-ii/maaojdhplffpbflhoggcckalfhhigjan (edited on Aug 21 - this now links to the newer version)

Please play with it, test it, see what stupid mistakes it makes and what terms are missing.

For new Eve players especially, what terms are you reading online that NEWB has failed to help you with? A Dead Parrot would like to shine up this diamond in the rough and release it to the EVE community!
