 |

PLEASE NOTE: At this time, the Expert List is no longer listing experts. This is an awesome list, but until there is some evidence of it being used, expanding it won't do much good. Thank you to all who have volunteered their knowledge, and if you have successfully utilized the Expert List recently, please leave a note below.
What is an Expert List?
An Expert List is a list of topics on which a YWS member is an expert. If you have a question, contact the appropriate member and I'm sure they'll be happy to help!
Are you an expert on something? Be listed as one!
Maybe you know the dynamics (pun totally, shamelessly intended) of an orchestra inside and out? Maybe you know the schematics of a swingset like the back of your hand? If you'd like to help out your fellow YWS-ers and be listed as an expert, PM me with your name and what you're exceptionally knowledgeable about, and I'll add you to the list! Questions? Ask them in the space below or PM me and I'll be happy to answer them!

Wow. Have you seen the Expert List recently? I mean, just look at it. There are ninety-six topics up there (!), not including the multiple topics that are listed together (such as sailing, ships, and Naval History). That's a lot. Who knew YWS knew so much? 
Now that we have an awesome list of knowledge awesomeness, let's put it to use. So here's how it works:
1. Start with a question!
2. Ask the person who has volunteered their knowledge of the subject. If they didn't want to be asked about their subject area, they wouldn't have volunteered
Has anyone successfully used the Expert List recently? Please share your success stories below  |
