After managing PainOnline for a few years as a solo operation, I'm at the point where I would welcome a little help so PainOnline can offer a higher level of information and assistance to medical professionals and people suffering from central pain. 

Please browse this page to see if you might be in a position to offer some assistance. All help will be on a strictly volunteer or gift basis. If you are willing to help in any of these areas, please write David Berg. (david@painonline.org)

• Web hosting: Currently, I pay all expenses for PainOnline out of my own pocket. Because I work from a slim budget to begin with, I would very much appreciate if I could find someone knows of a server willing to donate a few resources to host PainOnline. I'm not talking about much, just a small amount of bandwidth and a handful of email accounts. Because PainOnline is primarily text, the site requires a small amount of disk space, though PainOnline may grow include more graphics, etc.
  
  An ideal situation might be space on a server associated with a university or medical institution. Please write if you can help. 
  
• Articles: I would welcome high-quality articles from people suffering from central pain and from physicians (and other medical professionals) or researchers with input about central pain. I would like to post a few pages from people with first-person accounts of their experience with central pain or from professionals with case studies or articles on the treatment of central pain. I would also welcome articles from professionals about the "human side" of dealing with patients with central pain. 
  
  Articles are subject to review and editing, but I will consult with you about the final version before posting anything to the site. I will be happy to keep articles anonymous, if you prefer. Contact me if you have an idea for an article. 
  
• Editing: I have a backlog of articles to post to PainOnline that are in need of serious editing or rewriting before putting them online. If you have editing experience and are willing to help, please contact me. 
  
• Assistant Webmaster: If anyone would like to offer help as needed to do the normal stuff associated with maintaining and developing a website, please let me know. If you're decent with web graphics, all the better. If you'd like a small challenge, please write. 
  
• Financial Assistance: Aside from web hosting, I have other expenses associated with running PainOnline and additional things I'd like to offer, such as nicer discussion forum software, animations,  pamphlets, etc. If you can help, please write. 
  
• Forum Moderator: You may have already visited the PainOnline Discussion Forum. There's not much traffic so far, but I could use someone to check on the forum on a regular basis and answer any posts without responses. 
  
• Non-profit Advisor: I'm toying with the idea of turning PainOnline into a full-fledged non-profit organization, but I have no clue where to begin. If you would like to help PainOnline grow into an organization that can offer a higher level of assistance to those with central pain, please write.
