well, we have quite few members selling slings, and more people who would like to introduce people, but are bad at explaining.

members often tell them to join/see the sight and learn, but it might not be so good to the recipient. i think it would be great if we made a pdf file that could be printed out, and tell the person how to sling, and safety warnings and such people are much more inclined to believe a brochure or soemthing rather then something spoken, which is vital if you don't want a slinger to get hurt. the brochure could also have some basic methods of slinging, and links to other web addresses to other much more advanced styles (figure eight, mrboss style, etc)

the brochure could also get more slingers into the world as well

go for it Smiley
it's an idea I raised a while back and then like everything else, just never got round to doing.
If you want to knock something up - pop it across and I'll tidy it up Smiley

pdf's are easy - just download an open source pdf publisher.
Produce the amphlet in your favourite program and then print it to the pdfwriter - easy as pi
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/
Don't install the web toolbar.

In fact these days you can get quality software to do just about anything on the open source system Smiley
It's brilliant.
