Blizzard has posted a fan Q&A on the message boards for StarCraft II, mostly chatting about the map editor.

The map editor will be included in the beta, but not from the very beginning, and features a scripting language called Galaxy.

Still no word on when to expect the beta, but it’s suppose to be sometime this summer.
