I received the following e-mail
So here's a call-to-collaboration. Please help...There are almost 400 registered visitors of PE Notes (https://penotes.pbwiki.com/) and I'm sending this e-mail to each one. First and foremost, I want to thank the five or so donations I've received - they will help keep the wiki active until at least this summer. I also thank the handful of collaborators (that is, those that have added or edited content) as this is the real power of a wiki - but we need more... many more... of you!
So this e-mail is essentially another (and maybe last) plea for help (especially collaborative writing/editing). The Hydraulics page (http://penotes.pbwiki.com/Hydraulics) is pretty complete but there are many other sections that would be extremely helpful, such as the Geotechnical page (http://penotes.pbwiki.com/Geotechnical)... which for many is a topic people don't even know where to start.
There's something for everyone to collaborate on... start with the Exam Strategies page (http://penotes.pbwiki.com/ExamStrategies) as you all are (or soon will be) intimately familiar with this topic. And then find a topic where you can add some good summary material, especially useful equations with all units fully described.
The intent of the wiki isn't to replace Reference Manuals (such as the CERM)... it's an attempt to make a reasonable summary of material that is particularly useful for the PE exam. Feel free to upload reference files (being mindful of copyright) and link them to the References page (http://penotes.pbwiki.com/References). Provide references to the CERM if a topic is as simple as knowing a few pages well.
If you've found the PE Notes wiki useful in your exam studies, PLEASE pay forward... add some content! Congratulations to recently licensed Civil PEs and good luck to those taking the exam in April - I hope you'll find something useful here.
