Ok. I have a preposal to make. So listen up everybody, and no throwing tomatoes.
I have noticed that this sub forum is devoted to writing a book on the history and use of the sling. But another thing I have noticed is that this Goal has been around for more than a year, and we still only have a few chapters written.
Now, I believe we should be able to do better. This forum has become all talk and no work. Hey, even I need to get serious.
So, my Idea is this - (drumroll please)
I believe we should create a wiki, and have the book based there. This would mean that we could have the outline on the front page, then if you wanted to contribute a chapter, a paragraph, or even just suggest improvements, anybody could do it.
The outline itself could be a contents page, and if you want to contribute all you have to do is click on the chapter, open the page, and click edit.
For example, look at how wikipedia is going. If they all just sat around and said, 'hey we need an entry on solar panels' it would probably never get done. you actually have to do it, and IMHO writing a whole chapter is daunting.
Remember what somebody said when they started this forum - we have more than 400 members, and that means a storehouse of knowledge about the sling.
Well, something like that anyway.
I know this isn't a total fix-it solution, but I do believe that it would make things actually happen.
Please post your ideas!
