I fully support the idea, though I wonder....isn't this what CD pretty much is already? We have places to talk, places to put examples (white papers).

Anyway, I can help out. I'm proficient in graphic design and web design. Check the links in my sig for examples.

Well, the White Papers section here features a number of tested solutions, how-to's, and reference documents.

This is a great resource for that information. But, what if a team wanted to get a look at some new ideas, some new interpretations of old ideas, or, maybe, they just don't have the time or resources to devote to creating prototype code, designs, or systems.

This effort will give those teams a stepping stone toward achieving something larger than the sum of its parts. While with a whitepaper, the transfer of knowledge is largerly in one direction, making unproven designs available gives both a parties a chance to take a chances; and both a chance to learn.

I can help with certain things. I know photoshop, but I don't have 700 dollars to spend buying it. I am also semi-proficiant with Autodesk, but mostly I do building. Let me know if there is anything I can do!

Now I understand what you want to do. It was totally differnt from what I was thinking. And yet this still is not a problem. Ill will be building some unproven designs durning the summer that hopefully will work. Of course if they do work doesn't that make them proven designs that do work.

Lol I was just kidding. I will find some way for it to work. Then again I will have absolutely have no idea how to make it legal for a First competition. Ill leave that up to someone else on how to figure out how it to work.

With all of that said, I think finding a web hosting service should be among the last priorities. What, so far, does anyone have that they can host, anyway?

I'm talking to the parents about web space and a possable web site

It might be a plan to just start out with a geocities web site. They don't give you that much space but between 10 people linking up to each other you should have enough to post a reasonable amount of documents and "unproven" pictures. It's quite easy to start up. I built my home page off microsoft frontpage and it turned out to look pretty good for something I did in high school. I posted quite a few of my old teams pictures on there back in the day.

www.geocities.com

There has to be something better than geocities. Even lycos uk would be better.

Another great thing to look at for Freelance FIRSTers -

Look at organizations like the WRRF and see what you can do to help your local FIRST community!

Lycos had a HUGE banner from what I remember, but that was 2 years ago so I don't know anymore. Anyways, that's not important. Not spending money prematurely is important. You don't even know if this will get off the ground yet. I mean if I had to choose between a proven or unproven idea, I'd choose the proven.

The absolute best thing to do is to wait until we all have something worth posting to the internet, and then doing it all the right way.

Starting off with a muddled website on a free server, or worse, scattered across a free server, will only lead to a more muddled website in the future.

Yeah, my server doesn't really have right now. I'm not updating my website anymore so I basically have 400mb free and around 4gb bandwidth free each month... if you want to use it, I could create a ~firstrobotics account or something.
