Entertaining as the Easy Tiger initiative is, it's really been a way to test
the collaborative Wiki environment for creating and editing web pages.
There's a learning curve but in general editing Wiki pages is ridiculously
easy and not expensive in terms of time & resources.

So I'd like to reintroduce a concept which I've bandied around here, and
privately with a few individuals, about creating an Open Library of Trauma,
which is compiled and edited by many, as a living, growing, evolving
text/atlas/encyclpedia/multimediawhatever of trauma care.

To this end I've put up a page in the TraumaWiki about how I see we might
start to develop such an 'Open Library of Trauma', including some sample
contents list.  PLEASE take a look and see if it inspires you.

_trauma

Please add/change/edit whatever you see.  (Remember - you can do no harm,
edits can always be reversed at any stage).  If you're moved to start
creating pages, please do so.  If you'd like to add a comment or discussion
please click on the 'Discussion' tab at the top of the page and write your
comment. Please register and log-in to the TraumaWiki so we know who's
working on pages and who's commenting.

I can see very few impediments to this being a massive success - except for
apathy.  This is the future of publishing and collaboration.  We should get
on board.

You can always see what changes have been made to the entire TraumaWiki by
clicking on the 'Recent changes' link on the left of any page.
