We are developing a “contenders” section for the site. 

Setup:
It will have to be set up as two weblogs with shared categories. 

One “weblog” will have one post per contender - itemizing their specs so that all contenders can be compared in some tabular fashion. 

The second weblog will be for posts with news articles on each group.  Many posts could be made by FFS members into this weblog, as news about each contender emerges. 

Details:
Now:  to break down the type of content to populate the first “weblog” with.

Outstanding idea, Rezwan. It should have a prominant image link above the fold on the index page, and would add a lot to our credibility. After all, who else publishes their own specifics, let alone that of their competitors? Nobody that I’m currently aware of. But Helion‘s charts provide a good model for the chart design.

OK, Here’s a crude table to give an idea of the criteria and how the contenders might compare. 

The criteria need to be better developed - especially to come up with equivalent units for measuring.

The candidates need to be listed.

The info for each candidate needs to be filled in.

That’s content.

As to structure, I have to set up a weblog with all the criteria fields.  New fields can always be added, so even with partial list we’re OK.  Info can be filled in/updated as it comes.

Then - one day we can get really fancy and set up some code to compare different fusion alternatives like they compare cameras on CNET. 

OK.  This one’s a collaborative project.  Let’s work on the left column so I have the fields to set up a contender weblog, and an SAEF form and give permission to people to fill in contenders.  We’ll see how it works.
