While this sounds like a GREAT idea, I have a couple of questions:
- Who is going to manage the resource? You come across as a bit biased against some very knowledgable folks who have been around the biz (both entertainment and research) for a LONG time, and in some case have spent a lot of time and money to present ways to safely meet the current laser-related regulations. Who decides what gets posted, and what doesn't? I firmly believe that the stance taken by some of those that you don't agree with fully is to try to PREVENT accidents from happening. You're "show me" stance comes across, at times, as if to say if nothing has happened yet, why worry. (extreme simplification, but I think you get my point. I know that no one on this forum wants to see anyone, anywhere, get injured by lasers!)
- If this does become a reality, and the "resource" leads to further bandwidth and $$ issues, what is the plan to further subsidize Admin's own time and $$ he invests into keeping this site operational?
