Also

 * 1) Invite more people to contribute
 * 2) Expand First Aid/Appendix B: Behind the Scenes
 * 3) Use these templates to spruce up the book
 * 4) Use development stages to indicate which modules need expansion
 * 5) Please keep Sources up-to-date. If you use a source, put it there.
 * 6) All pages for first aid (i.e. not CPR or "concept" pages, but actual first aid content pages) need a common organization system:
 * 7) * Introduction: (what it is, how it happens, what's going on physiologically)
 * 8) * Recognition: Signs & Symptoms (including notes about how to differentiate it from other things with similar S&S)
 * 9) * Treatment: (including treatment priorities and don'ts)
