As for the general concept, that of members rating
what other members post?

It’s alright for trying to stir up interest in posting and
to enhance site traffic, and it can be used to bring
relevant articles to members attention.

But at a cost: it increases the site maintenance work
load substantially and is also subject to abuse. Just a
fact.

There are a variety of ways such an idea could be
implemented depending on how the site is set up to
function. Member-written articles or “diaries” that can
be recommended by other members is another
popular version.

And at this time most any forum post gets attention.
When the main site is updated and cleaned up it
should get more attention as well.

Right now the site and forum serve primarily as a
news forum, secondarily as an interest group forum
and as a de facto knowledge base for aneutronic
fusion and DPF technology… although the “knowledge
base” part is not very well organized.

And it could be helpful to have a general idea as to
how the new LPP site is going to be organized, so the
FFS can refer to them when appropriate.

Would also be nice to have references to other
aneutronic sites but EMC2 is basically a placeholder at
them moment and Tri-Alpha still ain’t saying much on
the net.
