Re: my OP, above... I'll just add that the thread I mentioned (from Do-It-Yourself forum, in SufficientSelf.com open forums) has attracted over 24,000 views now (and still climbing).
Please consider posting something about your relevant projects there. Include pics.
Dorn, thanks. Okay, my fault for not realizing that.
But could I make one small suggestion - which I feel would make the site slightly more user friendly?
Put a "Recent Posts" or "Newer Posts" button or list right on the Talk/Conversations page.
http://farmhack.org/forums/farm-hack-talk
The reason I suggest this is because some people who are expecially interested in **dialogue** with other members may have (as I did) bookmarked the "Conversations" page itself. So unlike on many other forums, here you can not simply go to the *discussion* page and find listings for the newest posts.
I appreciate your considering this idea, Dorn. Thanks again.
I'm interested in this.
You started building design version #2 on 08/21/13. Where are the links to pics & plans, and discussion of how the prototype has worked out in trials?
I participate on a lot of web forums. For FarmHack, I think danpluska's four forum categores would work well:
- Farming Practices (plants, animals, land and people management)
- Fabrication (equipment fab and maintenance, building fab and maintenance, metal work, machines and carpentry)
- Electronics, from circuits to solar panels
- Open-source, online collaboration, and Farm Hack website
If the site were to become very active, then I could see breaking some of these four main topic areas down further. But for the present, these categories should make the forum easy to understand, easy to find threads on, and generally user-friendly.
