Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Getting Started

Daniel's message reminds me of something that I wanted to suggest. 
(Please accept my apology in advance if this has already been discussed 
on the list.)

Have the various knowledgeable members considered setting up an FAQ or 
wiki type resource for entry-level psubbers? If legal liability is a 
concern for the organization, it could be hosted on a member's server, 
and all the usual disclaimers would apply.

As I imagine it, it would make no attempt to be exhaustive or 
prescriptive; instead, it would consist of short entries outlining 
certain problems in design, construction or operation, and a series of 
links to resources that would help a complete beginner to bring himself 
up to speed on possible solutions. That way, it would be clear that this 
is not a design or shop manual, which would hopefully keep the ravening 
lawyers at bay.

Best,
