RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Getting Started
There is also a web based forum on the site that isn't fully utilized! It
already does sort of function as a place for newbies... there is a meet and
greet section etc... as for a wiki.... there are lots of engineering skills
needed to build a sub... where does the wiki start and where does the wiki
stop? :) to build a sub.. you need a firm grasp of physics, mathematics,
hydro/fluid dynamics, materials scientist, electrical technician/engineer,
mechanical engineering (seals etc), as well as the health and safety
aspects...
That's a pretty big wiki/FAQ :)

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,
