Origami Skill Exchange

Hi
I just wanted to let everybody know here on this forum that the Yahoo Origami Skill Exchange Group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/origami_exchange/ is one year old today. For those of you who are not a member of it, it's basically a group that is trying to cater to two types of people.
1) Those that have had the skill to doodle / create an origami model, but have neither the time, ability or resource to diagram it up and...
2) Those people who are altruistic enough to want to contribute to the greater good of the origami community by reverse folding and ultimately diagramming up a model that someone has had the skill to create
You can view the detailed mechanics of how it works by visiting the Group, but basically someone posts a photo of their creation from various angles to the Group and if it appeals to a diagrammer out there, an exchange of skills would take place, the result of which wouldl be put into the public realm for the benefit of fellow folders.
So far there are just under 300 members and there have been about 7 models diagrammed up through a swap of origami skill exchanges.
I hope you will find the time to pop on over, particularly those of you who love diagramming or have models waiting to be diagrammed up.
See y'all over there.
