Don't worry Ralph, I have plenty of viewpoints that come from a very different angle to yours! ?
I'm still not clear on what sort of things are being sought.  Is it the sort of detailed and dry "how to do it" rather than the "easy reading" stuff generally populating the newsletter? ?

Tim,

There is a mix of topics aimed at "easing" a newcomer into Gauge 3.

Some of the material is mine (imported from G3MadeSimple.org.uk plus new material I have written) and I have other material (some written for the Newsletter but never published).

Ralph's material is different in "style" to mine and everything will need an editor to check it before the pages are published.

I am struggling at present with too many G3 projects (including Monkton Priors, which is only the tip of the iceberg) and the time I am able to devote to this new project is severely limited.

Additional authors, as well as editors, are required.

If you wish to become involved now, I can issue a username and password?

Regards,
John.

Tim,

Style and viewpoints on all subjects relating to G3 are required. My style is more verbal stream i.e. As if I were speaking to you. Yes your viewpoint will be very different to mine and I welcome it! I have been plugging in data  tables, but you should find it easier with your English kbd.

AndyB,
You wanted to help so apply here!

Regards

Ralph

John, I am sure I can provide some editing support, but currently not contributions.

Tim,

Thank you, editors are urgently required....Ralph and I are using every spare moment (of which I have very few) filling the site with content but it all needs editing/checking for accuracy before the results can be unveiled.

Am just about to go out now but will email you with login details, etc. later in the day.

Regards,
John.

This extensive new site, which will answer all the questions a beginner in Gauge 3 is likely to be asking him or her self, is very much advanced and has a huge amount of content. It commences with making decisions on whether G3 is the right path for you, through planning and constructing the line, right up to the dizzy heights of building your own live steamer!

There is a lot of technical detail, as well as "plain English" advice on the whole range of challenges which face a constructor, to ease your path through the G3 experience.

The majority of the material is already in place on the web pages (protected by password until ready for publication) and currently is being edited and organised into a system of "pathways" to help a newcomer find his/her way through the jungle.

The application used to set up this encyclopedia enables searches to be conducted, as well as the use of a comprehensive list of contents and the aforementioned "pathways".

There is a team of just three working on this and, with holidays and work intervening, it is not a quick process.
Anticipated launch date of "Phase 1" is mid to late September, with continuing expansion thereafter.

More volunteers for editing duties will speed up the process!
