I would like to second those ideas. Ditto the remark about not doing away with the abstruse math. I skim over some of those articles enjoying the idea of being in the company of people who can write them and others who can grasp all the mathm, while pretending that I mean to re-read the articles more attentively and will be able to follow the math better if I concentrate. It would be really nice to have some remedial trig articles. There have been some articles on woriking in metal and stone. I, too, would like to see more of these.
