gathering TC knowledge

["Tesla list" <tesla-at-pupman-dot-com>]

I haven't had much time for keeping up with all the posts on the Tesla 
lists lately, but the ones about an on-line book caught my attention.

I have long thought there was a need for a information source for 
builders.  There are many good web-pages out there with TC info, but none 
seem complete.  I've always had to hop around page to page trying to find 
the bits of info that I was after, never being able to remember just where 
I had seen them before.  I saw a need for a good "one-stop" source for 
coiling information.

That is why I started to create the Tesla Coil Information Archive 
(TCIA).  You put this up for me at 
http://hot-streamer-dot-com/tcia/tcia/tcia.html several months ago. I laid out 
a basic structure in which to organize all the data and a basic format for 
all the pages.  I tried to keep them all clean and graphics free to make 
loading time short and keep the size of the archive as small as 
possible.  While I did put in a few bits of info, it is mostly 
empty.   Before I got to the gathering and sorting of the information, my 
job changed and left me little time to work on a project such as this.  So 
it has set for the past several months.

I would really like to see the TCIA become a reality.  It will take 
contributions from the coiling community to make it grow as well as someone 
that is willing to put some time into it to keep it updated.  I never 
mentioned it on the lists, because I knew that I didn't have the time to 
work on it right now and haven't found anyone that does.

If you would be interesting in helping on this and maybe know 1 or 2 others 
that would be willing to help, let me know.
