This is somehow related to that previous topic (now closed) on the recent Mt York incident. I've been exchaging emails with Lucas Trihey, who managed the Accident Register site (recently gone offline). Here is one of his replies made to the OzCanyons mailing list, which may also be relevant here - if anybody here has any leads or ideas to help revive the initiative, please get in touch! PM or email. Thank you!

The Accident Register site is not dead yet although we are experiencing some problems with getting cash for the domain name, web hosting and to cover the cost of calls to check and verify accident reports (accuracy is a major priority for the site).

We need about $500 per year minimum for this and so far have mostly been funding it out of our own pockets but we are finding we can't justify this any longer. The three of us who founded the site (Lucas Trihey, Ian Brown and Richard Delaney) still believe there is a valid need for the site (and gauging by the reaction to the loss in some quarters - ski.com.au etc) it seems others think so too. So we are reluctant to let the idea drop. We believe that the site has definite educational benefits for people at all levels (novice to expert) in various adventure activities.

Carolina (who I think is a member here) is helping out by trying to coordinate a response and to look at getting some funding. If anyone has useful contacts with organisations that may be able to come up with some funding please contact Carolina.

Thanks for the interest in the site!

Lucas
