On the other hand, you may be right, maybe its about creating a separate "Projects"^TM for a single task group, like "RaspberryPi", or even "RaspberryPi 4B", "RaspberryPi Zero", etc. For sure this may attract people interested in a specifc topic. If you want to give it a try just let me know how you want the "Projects"^TM to be named? :-) -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
