PErhaps there could be a board to post and discuss new scientific breakthroughs and discoveries and such. Just a thought.
Hey guys,
I'm planning to do some serious updates to the site over the next few months, and was wondering what kind of new functionality and/or bugfixes/changes to existing functionality you guys were wanting.
So, this is your opportunity to let me know about anything you reeeally wish this site could do. I'm gonna compile a list, and then run a series of quickpolls to select an few items to implement.
Thanks,
Ben
