already on jerry's site

dale severance's list of hundreds and thousands
maybe could be scanned in to a web-site

i believe that camilla has already compiled such a list for the usa

>Easy to follow links from John's website to Jerry's to Simon's to the
>National pd groups online?

camilla's and jerry's and simon's sites are already linked via the pwp webring

it would be easy to make camilla's list of addresses into a page
with hot links to those groups on-line

>A list of neurologists/mds/clinics in specific areas?

good one
it could be another page - tied in with camilla's orgs and dales groups

>Links to Simon's pdnews?

links already exist within simon's pages
which are already linked to the pwp webring

>Instructions on 'how-to' search PubMed
>for specific scientific articles?

i have already written a couple of these
they could be added to my web-site easily
and i am linked to the pwp webring too

>Joe's lists of articles?

i think joe's info may already be on a uk website
which could be linked to the pwp webring

>Kathryn's info re nutrition?

she already has a website - linked into the pwp webring

>Nutitional supplements?

ummm....

>Surgeries (who, what, where, why)?

the hole-in-the-head-gang stories are on jerry's website

>Medications?

there are already pages and pages of good med info at john's site

>The importance of exercise?

ummm...

>The latest scientific news re pd?

all the news posts from judith and me
are 'grabbable' by searching the archives for "NEWS:"
maybe that's something that john might tackle as an ongoing
and evergrowing resource on the web

some of my news articles are already on paul mote's website

>Volunteers to compile all this info and put it on the web.

i can compile and edit

i can create very basic web pages
eg the ones on my own website
all jerry had to do was upload them for me

>For those who are semi-web-literate and web-abled:
>A place on the various web pages to ask for more help?
>How to subscribe to the list?

already on the web in a couple of places - simon's and john's and jerry's

>Volunteers to provide that help.

could be some 'mailto:' links on the existing pages
referring to helpers other than the website managers themselves

>For those who aren't able to access the web:>
>Volunteers to take the 'newbie' under their wing and provide a positive,

we could establish a rota of big brothers or big sisters
to wait in an on-line receiving line, as it were,
to be the welcome wagon for each newbie
as they join
