Looking for help with a joint project.

Mowque and I are working on a timeline with a POD in the early twentieth century. We re looking for people with extensive knowledge in several areas. It will be posted on this site (among other places). Basically we're looking for people who know a lot about certain subjects of which we are woefully ignorant. We're students humbly looking for a teacher. Basically this thread is so we can find you. All information exchange will occur out of this thread (via, PM, MSN, E-mail..whatever you prefer) (on a one-on-one- basis). So, feel free to offer your talents/interests/personal experiences whatever. leave whatever contact info you want here.

Areas we're specifically interested in (but feel free to contact us if you want to contribute something else):

  • Nuclear Weapons Programs (preferably second rate ones like the S. African or Brazil projects)
  • Post-1900 history of the Ottoman Empire, particularly political.
  • International Banking
  • The politics of the Balkans, pre-First World War.
  • Art/Philosophy/Architecture (ie, how history has effected these fields, Post 1900)
  • German/ French Colonial Practices
  • Recreational Drug Laws (past, present and future)
  • Computing (history AND present)
  • Epidemics
  • Industrial Fishing
  • Eco-Tourism
  • S. African History
  • International Shipping
  • Stock Market (past, present, and future)
  • Desalination

I'd be interested in helping out. I'm not in university for any of the subjects, but I do like me some recreational drugs.
 
Apparently, regarding the S. African nukes, there was an incedent called the Vela incedent occurwed. A U.S. sateelite sensed an explosion in the 70s. Apparently, Isreal was helping them. The PM of S. Africa was going to admit, but he decided not to.
 
Go here to find a detailed academic paper on South Africa's nuclear weapons development program.

I have SOME knowledge of the areas I've bolded, and am quite capable researcher.

PM any questions, if you can be specific the better. I'll help research something, if you know what exactly you want of it

And some of the areas I've bolded would be for specific times - eg banking and international shipping I'm reasonably au fait with 1900-1918 but begin to get a bit vaguer thereafter

Best Regards
