The new subject matters are valuable and are areas in which we should certainly venture. These are going to have to have input from doctors and therapists WAY more informed than I am. I many of these cases, OCF proposes to publish a small grant for the compilation of the information.

As to Tom's post and e publishing. I think that he hits the pros and cons of the issue dead center. I can't believe that the person (me) that was adamant that OCF be a web effort vs. any other type of medium, especially print, 5 years ago, because of the ability for it to reach so many people so easily, and to constantly up date and grow the information base, became so myopic in perspective. Chester our web master and I have discussed this at length this afternoon, and he has assured me that this is completely doable as a web store download purchase, as Tom says in portions, in a continuing subscription, etc. Clearly this is the path that costs us the least right off the bat, and gives us the greatest flexibility to get something out there in the very near future, which can be built on as the information is developed. Also Tom points out, there are services that will print and bind small orders as they are developed and it is a matter of finding the right companion company to work with to do this.
