I might suggest it would be best to ask those questions in their own thread on the forum. Matthias checks in here only irregularly and there are those in the community who could likely help you a little more quickly.

As to yoru questions. A source can be defined in a few ways. Probably the easiest within the editor is just on whatever you are creating in there click on the "Edit" button on the entry that says "Sources" on that thing and check the "-New Source-" checkbox. It will then ask you for "Source Name" and UniqueID. The Source Name is what you want to see in the list when you Configure a character and can include spaces, the UniqueID is just a shorthand form of that and should not include spaces (although it can include an underscore "_" if you like).

The most persistent way is to create a .1st files. If you look in the savage data directory you'll probably see other .1st files in there (especially if you've downloaded any of the extra settings files) which will give you and example of how to create one of those. Feel free to ask around here (maybe in a separate thread, though) if you need some help!

On the Edges question, take a look at the "Common Code Examples" thread stickied at the top of this forum and see if that helps any.
