When I am reading a book,or anything else written, I sometimes get confused by many phrases.For example,I read something about "a lopsided smile" and my immediate thought was "what does that look like?"for other phrases its "how do I know what that means without a picture?" or "how obvious is it to the others in the text?"
For many of these I try to do an image search to look them up, but never find what I am looking for.
Does anyone think that it would be a good idea to create a sort of explanation site?I particularly get confused with facial descriptions, so I would start with that and then move on to other phrases.My idea is, for each phrase, to list what it means and what it would look like and provide a picture.
To organise this, I would need the help of someone that can design websites, and people that would be willing to take photographs of themselves to illustrate the phrases.

Any volunteers?

Just a few ideas,

I don't think that you need website designers in this day and age since there are already good tools out there to do the job. What you're talking about sounds most like a wiki but you could also do it using a blog.

Here are three possibilities;

1. Contact Wikipedia and link it to the Aspergers page. (use the real wiki)
2. Use the Wiki that is built into WrongPlanet
3. Create an external blog using a blogging tool like Blogger.

All three of these possibilities are easy, will do the job and would require minimal web development.

I think you could give it a go. Best to try it on a site like blogspot before going into webhosting.

when that happens and I want more info-I simply google it. But I think there is a site for facial expressions and a wiki article on gestures and the like.

IT makes sense
