here's a page y'all might find interesting:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skiing

They have a link for "Extreme Skiing" but there's no content yet! If anyone feels the urge to define it, you can!
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Extreme_skiing&action=edit


It's from WikiPedia - which is an online collabroative tool. The kewlest part is the "Edit This Page" on the bottom. Anyone can edit anything I think.

I am having a ball editing all this stuff - I added a page for tuckerman!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuckerman_Ravine

I encourage you all to edit it like crazy. I left some spelling mistakes on purpose expecting some of you to fix them.

Wikipedia's pretty amazing. I'm impressed by the lack of trollish misinformation over there.

Drat! Someone got there before me and only left the word 'attracts' mispelled.
Oh well it was something...

Where is the rest of the content M@?

Nice work everyone who edited that! That is excatly how WikiPedia works - someone just jots a quick note, and then the experts come along and fill in details as well as links etc.

What impresses me, is that Mount Washington page has had a link to the Tuckerman Ravine page since at least 2002, and I just created the Tuckerman Page today.

Wonders never cease.
